Welcome to the World of The Witcher
Gwent is here, and it’s a sumptuous slice of a blockbuster franchise.
GWENT: The Witcher Card Game
Epic Card Battles
The world of The Witcher is a rich fantasy universe whose stories revolve around the adventures of Geralt, the series’ grizzled hero.
Having started out as books, the series is probably best-known for its sprawling adventure games. The latest edition, Wild Hunt, featured Gwent as a side attraction—a game within a game, intended to be played in between tackling the main mission-based storyline. But it became so popular that it soon spawned a standalone game; and now here it is—right on your iPhone and iPad!
Gwent is about battling it out with another player by placing cards from your deck onto the board in turns. The player who gathers the most points wins the round, with each battle a best-of-three contest.
You carry your 10 cards throughout each battle, meaning you have to decide whether to play your strongest hand upfront, or play a more reactionary game.
It has been a smash on PC and console, and we’re delighted to report that its App Store incarnation is just as good—if not even more more intuitive, thanks to its new touchscreen interface.
In fact, everything that’s in the PC edition of Gwent is here on iPhone and iPad. The same is true of all future content drops too—every new card pack or feature that drops in this game on PC and console will arrive in this App Store edition at the same time.
Even better, PC players can sign into the game and carry on playing with their existing account on iPhone and iPad. You’ll also be matched up against players regardless of whether they’re playing on iPhone, iPad, PC, or console. Grab it now and you’ll see exactly why it has proved so popular—engaging in a battle of wits against another player online is nothing less than a tense, tactical affair. Get Gwenting!
