Gwent launched as an Open Beta for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One in May. Since then, developer CD Projekt has delivered multiple tweaks and updates to the game, and a “Full Version” was planned for sometime this Fall. However, it looks like that plan has hit a snag.
Writing on the game’s official website, CD Projekt’s Marcin Iwinski has confirmed the release of Gwent’s “Full Version,” as well as the Thronebreaker single-player campaign, have been pushed back to 2018:
Thronebreaker, Gwent’s story-driven single player campaign, is moving to 2018. We decided to increase the campaign’s scope and need more time to work on it. Shifting release windows is always something we approach seriously, however, we’ll never hesitate to do it if we feel you’ll get a better game as a result. I would like to apologize everyone who planned to play Thronebreaker over the Holidays — I assure you that we will do our best to make the final game worth the additional wait.
But it wasn’t all bad news. Iwinski also said that CD Projekt is planning to “increase the tempo” of multiplayer updates next year, and that fans should expect to see frequent content additions (including “cards, challenges, vanity items, [and] game patches, and balance tweaks”) to the game.
