Gwent: Rogue Mage is a single-player roguelike based on The Witcher card game, out tomorrow

You might count yourself among those who thought the collectible card game Gwent was one of the best parts of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. If so, CD Projekt Red have just made your day by revealing the existence of a single-player standalone expansion for their Gwent game, dubbed Rogue Mage. Not only that, but the fantasy roguelike deckbuilder will be out tomorrow, July 7th.

Can you believe it’s already been twenty years since CD Projekt Red started making games? No? Well, let’s have a quick refresher of what else happened in 2002 for some perspective: Queen’s Golden Jubilee, check, last confirmed sighting of the Yangtze river dolphin, righto, SARS starts spreading… okay, let’s just stick to tipping our hats at one of Poland’s best known games developers for now. You can start doing that when the CDPR 20th anniversary livestream kicks off at 3pm BST/4pm CEST/7am PDT today.

20 years of CD PROJEKT RED!

Time flies... It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since CD PROJEKT RED was founded. The last two decades have been filled with adventure, and we’re so proud to have created video games that players all around the world have enjoyed — not to mention having such a strong, supportive community that has been with us at every step!

Although our studio was established in February 2002, we’ve chosen to celebrate the anniversary today, July 1st, because on this exact date 20 years ago CD PROJEKT (at that time known as CD Projekt) announced its shift in focus to game development. It’s a special date that marks the beginning of our studio as we know it today. It’s where our journey into making RPGs began, and we think that’s definitely worth putting in the spotlight!

But today is not the only day we’re going to celebrate this occasion. It’s 20 years, after all! We’ve got a bunch of activities planned for the coming months, and we invite you — our awesome community — to join in the fun! Here’s the plan:

For those hungry for knowledge, we’ve got CD PROJEKT RED trivia & facts coming at you every Friday!
On Wednesdays, we’ll be taking trips down memory lanes with special streams devoted to our games.
On Mondays & Thursdays, we’ve cooked up some special birthday Challenges for you — with prizes up for grabs, of course!
And that’s not all! We have more to come.. But why spoil the surprise now?

And every day you can also visit our dedicated anniversary website: 20yearsof.cdprojektred.com to celebrate the past twenty years by sharing your memories of our games with us! We have a Birthday Gallery where you can submit screenshots, photos, drawings or anything else you can come up with!

We can’t wait to see what you send us!

LARP Witcher School is shutting down after license pulled by CD Projekt

A real world Witcher school in Poland is having to close down due to having its license to the IP pulled by CD Projekt Red.

As reported by Eurogamer, The Witcher School, a real-life school that fans of the series could attend to learn things like leatherwork, fencing, and casting magical signs, is shutting down. 5 Żywiołów, the company that ran the role-playing school, announced the news on Facebook, saying that CD Projekt Red "terminated the license agreement."

5 Żywiołów alleges that the license was pulled due to one staff member's involvement in a controversial, ultra-conservative Polish Catholic organisation Ordo Iuris, known for being anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, and is against gender equality.
