ANNOUNCING THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT OFFICIAL GWENT THE CARD GAME No Loading Games will release the first official physical card game for Gwent, based on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in 2025. [MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Dec 6] — The Gwent game loved by Geralt of Rivia and millions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt players will be released as a tabletop card game in 2025 by No Loading Games in celebration of the 10th anniversary of CD PROJEKT RED’s acclaimed RPG. Officially licensed by CD PROJEKT RED, Gwent the Legendary Card Game will stay true to the in-game experience of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which has sold over 50 million copies and won over 250 Game of the Year awards since its release in 2015. Designed for both seasoned Witcher fans and newcomers alike, this deck-building card game will bring the tactical depth and beloved lore of The Witcher universe to your tabletop. Gwent the Legendary Card Game will be released as a complete base game with the five core factions (Monsters, Nilfgaardian Empire, Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, and Skellige). Each faction deck will come with beautifully illustrated cards featuring iconic characters and abilities from the Witcher world. The game will use Trading Card Game (TCG) standard card size of 63mmx88mm, ensuring compatibility with sleeves and accessories designed for collectors and competitive play. No Loading Games plans to release Gwent the Legendary Card Game to international markets with the support of key publishing partners. To celebrate the exciting news, No Loading Games is offering a booster pack of Ballad Heroes Legendary Foil Cards to players who subscribe to their newsletter. The Legendary booster pack features alternative artwork from the Ballad Heroes DLC, so players can “make your Gwent deck legendary.” Visit No Loading Games’s website to subscribe and secure your copy of the booster pack, which will be redeemable at purchase when the game launches in 2025. "It’s an honor to bring The Witcher 3’s legendary card game to the tabletop and mark the 10th anniversary of the game in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED. This is more than just a game; it’s a tribute to the strategy, lore, and community that has kept Gwent alive for a decade. No Loading Games is dedicated to delivering the ultimate product and experience for fans, combining the highest quality components with meticulous attention to detail for an unforgettable Gwent experience. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time player, how about a round of Gwent?" - Arnaud Perez, CEO and Founder of No Loading Games “I'm thrilled about this collaboration with No Loading Games! As a huge GWENT: The Witcher Card Game fan — and a TCG enthusiast — it's a dream come true. One of the things I'm most excited about is that the cards will be in the popular standard size, making sleeving your favorite deck incredibly easy! Previously, the decks (Monsters, Nilfgaardian Empire, Northern Realms, Scoia'tael) were only available in the collector's editions of the expansions for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. The Skellige deck was never even officially released to the wider public, making it a highly sought-after item for the community. The opportunity to finally get these cards, especially the Skellige deck, and crack at the Ballad Heroes Booster pack has me incredibly excited! I know players around the world will appreciate this release.”-   Paweł Burza, Senior Communication Manager, CD PROJEKT RED
