The best card game within a game from 2015 may shed its RPG trappings soon: Nerdleaks has spotted an EU trademark application for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, complete with a fancy logo, from The Witcher 3 creator CD Projekt.

The trademark application was filed on June 6 by CD Projekt, according to the European Union Intellectual Property Office. The document is in Polish, duh, but according to Google translate (and the fact that I have a pretty good idea what "komputer" means) it will indeed be a video game, rather than a physical game. For that you'll still need those limited edition Gwent decks.

CD Projekt revealed back in March that its development studio, CD Projekt Red, was working on "a new type of video game format previously unexplored by the studio" with plans to release it some time this year. A dedicated Gwent game would fit the bill, and would give the studio a chance to address some of the understandable balance issues present in the Witcher 3's version. I just hope it's allowed to shine Hearthstone-like on mobile devices.

  • Ciri in The Witcher 3 New The Witcher 3 expansion rumored for 2026 launch, weeks after CD Projekt Red mysteriously teased "hinted" content

CD Projekt Red will be showing something new at E3 and it won't be Cyberpunk 2077, according to Eurogamer, so we may get to see Gwent: The Witcher Card Game very soon.

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
