Thronebreaker is a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with unique puzzles and card battle mechanics.

Crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game spins a truly regal tale of Meve, a war-veteran queen of two Northern Realms — Lyria and Rivia. Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath, and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge.

Main Features:

• Experience an all new 30-hour Witcher Tale with 20 possible world end-states.
• Embark on over 75 thought-provoking side quests — one of the hallmarks of The Witcher series.
• Explore never-before-seen parts of The Witcher world — Lyria, Rivia, Aedirn, Mahakam and Angren.
• Manage resources, recruit and develop units in your very own customizable war camp.
• Build an army and engage in story battles, which twist the game’s rules in wildly unexpected ways.

Additional Features:

• Thronebreaker features over 250 single player tailored cards, as well as 20 brand new cards for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game.
• Each card represents an entity in the game — characters players interact with during open world exploration can become on-hand assets, deployable during battle.
• During each playthrough, players make choices and face their consequences — acting against an ally’s convictions might cause their card to disappear from the deck.
• Mastering the campaign allows unlocking premium animated versions of cards, additional multiplayer avatars, borders, and titles.
• Fully voice-overed dialogues, localized into 11 languages.
