Gwent: Thronebreaker Campaign Delayed

An open letter from CD Projekt RED’s co-founder Marcin Iwiński informs us that the single-player Thronebreaker campaign for Gwent, that was initially expected to launch this year, has been delayed to somewhere in 2018, and that the team will be focusing on frequent multiplayer update releases, adding new cards, challenges, and balance tweaks.

Dear gamers!

We’ve decided to introduce changes to GWENT’s development roadmap, and I’d like to take a brief moment of your time to share them with you.

Thronebreaker, GWENT’s story-driven single player campaign, is moving to 2018. We decided to increase the campaign’s scope and need more time to work on it. Shifting release windows is always something we approach seriously, however, we’ll never hesitate to do it if we feel you’ll get a better game as a result. I would like to apologize everyone who planned to play Thronebreaker over the Holidays — I assure you that we will do our best to make the final game worth the additional wait.

Secondly, since 2018 is the year we plan to take GWENT out of beta, we’ll be increasing the tempo of multiplayer update releases. We want you to have more fun playing, but we also want to welcome new gamers into an already rolling multiplayer ecosystem. Expect content additions like cards, challenges, vanity items, but also game patches, and balance tweaks to be published more frequently.

Best regards,
Marcin Iwiński,
co-founder,
