CD Projekt RED - New Witcher-Related Title at E3?

[Aubrielle]

Is CD Projekt RED announcing a new Witcher-related title at E3? Might it have something to do with the Gwent card game that made the news last week?

​

I'll leave the title of this newsbit with a question mark at this point, but I think it's pretty clear by the picture that GameSpot snapped near the LA Convention Center that CD Projekt RED intends to announce, well, something related to The Witcher series at next week's E3. The promotional art that dons the side of the Figueroa Hotel looks more than a little light-hearted, though, so it's hard to say where this will ultimately lead. Perhaps it will tie in with the Gwent trademark that was filed last week?

GameSpot is now on the ground in Los Angeles for E3, and we snapped the photo below of a massive poster from CD Projekt Red hung on the Figueroa Hotel. As you can see, the poster is incomplete; perhaps the rest will be revealed in the coming days.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that CD Projekt Red trademarked "Gwent: The Card Game," with the suggestion being that it could be for a standalone version for mobile devices. Gwent is the name of the popular in-game card game from The Witcher 3.

It is possible this is the game that CD Projekt Red boss Marcin Iwinski alluded to in a recent interview, where he also suggested the project could be announced at E3.

CD Projekt said previously that it would announce or possibly launch a new game in 2016. Interestingly, this would be a "new type of video game format previously unexplored by the studio." A standalone version of Gwent for mobile devices would fit that description.

Please don't limit this to mobile devices - would be a shame if there wouldn't be at least a browser version!

Yeah, a mobile-only thing would make me really sad.

If it's mobile only....then my stock in CDPR will take a sharp nose dive (they are currently running at an all-time market high after B&W).

The rumor (only the rumor mind you) is that it will be Gwent and, if so, I wouldn't actually mind to have it on my mobile. Of course I would also like to have it on my PC as well.

A Dandelion as protagonist title, that was hinted a few years ago:

You'd all love it.

I don't know. I quite like Gwent but I don't find it interesting or deep enough to warrant an own game without changing some of the mechanisms. I find its just too simple.

Had to say if they have to change anything once you start playing real people instead of characters were in the game.

Me personally could have finished the game 20 plus hours sooner if it wasn't for Gwent.

I'm not interested in card games. Not as mini games and not as standalone games.
But if it can earn CDPR some cash for CP77 development I wish then luck!

Twitcher, the new social card game in which you trade with your friends for alchemical components with mind-altering effects.

Yeah, the cat is out of the bag.
It is just a F2P card game.
