A new installment of the The Witcher video game series from CD Projekt Red has been released. Gwent: Rogue Mage is a single-player expansion for developed by the studio, but it’s available separately. It is available today for $10 on PC, iOS, and Android. For $20, Gwent’s premium edition offers benefits.
Project Golden Nekker was the working name for Rogue Mage. Prior to Geralt of Rivia, the main character in The Witcher, being born, hundreds of years have passed. You’ll assume the role of the mage Alzur, who is working to make the first witcher in order to defend mankind from an onslaught of monsters.
However, don’t enter it expecting to learn a ton of information that will affect the. Game director Vladimir Tortsov stated, “While we have a story to tell about Alzur’s obsession with creating the first witcher, we do not treat this expansion as an official addition to The Witcher lore.” We anticipate that players will feel sufficiently immersed to support the gameplay-first formula, but we don’t anticipate that the story will be the main factor in whether or not they enjoy this release.
The game is a deckbuilder roguelike. While navigating a procedurally generated map, you’ll engage in card battles that use the original Gwent’s gameplay mechanics. As you amass more cards and equipment, your army will become more powerful. Numerous difficulty modifiers are also available.
Rogue Mage, which is intended for gameplay sessions lasting up to an hour, will most likely take players more than 30 hours to complete. Although there are online features like leaderboards and cross-saves so you can pick up where you left off on other devices, the game can be played entirely offline.
CDPR released the first version of Gwent. A minigame from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt served as the inspiration for this multiplayer free-to-play game. But Rogue Mage isn’t the first Gwent single-player game. An earlier single-player campaign by CDPR was titled.
