Witcher - Card Game Trademarked?

[Aubrielle]

Rumors abound this summer. If this one is correct, a Witcher card game has been trademarked.

​

Website NerdLeaks has spotted a very interesting trademark and logo registration on the European Union Intellectual Property Office. Gwent: The Witcher Card Game might well be a standalone title based on the card minigame of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which many have clamored for since the game's release. Some more details on the trademark application:

The trademark was filled with class 9 and 41 (videogames, software, etc.) into the European Union Intellectual Property Office two days ago (June 6th), with what seems to be the official logo.CD Projekt previously hinted to Eurogamer that they might announce something Witcher-related at E3, and this might very well be that announcement:

Under plans for 2016, CDPR mentioned, "A new type of video game format previously unexplored by the studio." That doesn't necessarily mean it's a game and doesn't necessarily mean it's coming out this year. But it could be both. When I asked Iwinski if it will be this thing at E3 he said, "We will see." When I asked if we'll find out what it is at E3 he said, "Well, hopefully." And when I asked if it had anything to do with The Witcher he said, "Time will tell."I'm usually pretty cautious with trademark applications, but in this case I'd say all signs point to this being real. Still, you should assume this is unconfirmed until the game is announced, as per usual.

Time to fap, always wanted gwent as a standalone game; now hopefuly they arent idiots to make it some f2p bullshit

I really like gwent inside the Witcher game as a nice distraction from monster slaying.

As a stand-alone they will have to flesh it out a good bit more. Otherwise it will become very monotnous very fast. I would also like some kind of boardgame-like exploration to find new cards (like in that old Magic game).

IF CDPR is really planning to release Gwent as a standalone they will almost certainly flesh it out. Otherwise the game would have been released already.
