It was reported by IGN that CD Projekt Red will cease support for GWENT, the developer’s Witcher card game. The switch will occur in 2024 when the game focuses on community-driven assistance, with a small team working alongside it. Other members of CD Projekt Red are moving on to other titles, though GWENT: The Witcher Card Game will receive more updates, cards, and Esports events in 2023.

With that in mind, a new round of patch notes for GWENT was released today for version 10.12, complemented by a lengthy developer video going more in-depth with the recent update. We’ve also attached CD Projekt Red’s Senior Communication Manager Pawel Burza’s recent tweet, where he shares a few memories on his Twitter.
