GWENT: The Witcher Card Game changes
The first card drop of 2023 is releasing tomorrow and we can not wait for you to get your hands on the 24 new cards.
As usual, there are also some changes to existing cards and we also celebrate 2 birthdays this month!
For the 4 final reveals, a rundown of the most important balance changes, and a personal message from Jean, make sure to check out the latest Developer Update:
New Features Claw and Dagger - It is the time of trickery, concealment, and deceit, of carving your own path, no matter the cost. After all, who's going to be able to stop you?
This card drop introduces four new cards to each playable faction.
Yen and Ciri's Birthday Event - Join the birthday party and unlock special vanities by completing time-limited contracts. But that's not all! Visit the Shop to find even more themed goodies!
