Are you up for a few rounds of Gwent?

Coming hot from the venerated halls of E3, <span class="bold">GWENT: The Witcher Card Game</span> has now been announced as a fully reimagined, standalone, free-to-play multiplayer game. You can now register for the GWENT beta and discover the card game sensation that Geralt and his pals have been obsessing over, complete with an upcoming single-player campaign molded after the Witcher's adventures.

“I would like to thank all the fans for supercharging us to make standalone GWENT happen. Thousands of e-mails in dozens of languages coming from all around the world, the phone calls, the forum posts, and more than 40 fan made versions – all this, and everything in between, didn’t go unnoticed,” said Marcin Iwiński, CD PROJEKT co-founder. “Yes, we were mysteriously quiet after the launch of The Witcher 3, but during all this time we were hard at work on what we just unveiled today – GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. We’ve taken all that heart and energy you gave us and put it into GWENT,” continues Iwiński. "If you enjoyed GWENT in The Witcher 3, I think I don’t have to convince you to sign-up for the beta. If you hadn’t tried it yet, there’s no better time. Go register, play the beta for free starting from September and share your feedback with us. Tell us what you like, and what you don’t. Tell us what we should change or improve. We made this game for you, so let’s shape it together."

Overpower, outsmart, or bluff your way to victory. Register now for the upcoming beta of <span class="bold">GWENT: The Witcher Card Game</span> and make sure you are among the first to join the battlefield!
The GWENT beta is scheduled to launch September 2016.

Zelux: Please CD project red, give us a linux version aswell.
I dont mind waiting for one.
It doesn't look to me like CDPR care about Linux much. They seem to lack people in the company who would drive this. What's even more upsetting is that game is using Unity, so Linux release should be easy for them. Yet they never bothered doing it for their previous Unity games (like Witcher adventure game for example).

Is there an answer on what "f2p" entails?

I refuse to play other "f2p" games, because they nickel and dime you into oblivion rather than offering the ENTIRE game for a set price.

If CD Red said, "Ok, if you buy this for 40-50, you get the whole game" then I will GLADLY pay that premium.

I'm surprised they haven't offered a physical card deck, that seems like it'd give everyone what they want without straying into the some-more-free-than-others multiplayer minefield. Of course, 'real' collectible card games with randomized booster packs and whatnot tend to make the worst F2P/P2W games look like egalitarian utopias, so....

JMich: Yes. Most TCG (or CCG) do give free users a method to increase their collections. It does take quite a bit of time (and depending on game, possibly skill as well), and it will take a completely free user a lot of time to collect all the cards (if at all possible), but it can be done.
Players usually decide to pay money either because they want to support the developer or because paying instead of grinding ends up cheaper for them. But to call a game P2W it means that free users cannot compete on the same level as paying ones. Needing more time to get to the same stage doesn't necessarily mean a game is P2W.

Kristian: That is a very literalistic understanding of the term P2W. IMO many if not most people mean to include games were people not paying anything are at a disadvantage. The distinction being between F2P games were what you buy is only of cosmetic significance vs F2P games were what you buy actually gives you an advantage(P2W).
That is your definition of F2P but it's not mine. And i'm not going to go into what i think about this definition of yours because that is, as they say "best kept out of polite conversation". As far as i'm concerned if a CCG gives you a chance to grind for your cards in a reasonable period of time (and reasonable will have different meanings here for different people) then it's not pay to win. Pay to Win would be when people that pay real money have access to content that is not available to people that don't pay with the exception of purely cosmetic stuff, especially when that content gives a considerable advantage.

It's pretty baffling to me that people complain about being able to buy stuff in game but are ok with just paying for it upfront like for a regular game. I sure as hell won't play this if i have to buy it like a regular game, but i will probably play it if i can do it for free and just grind for the content, ala Hearthstone, Spellweaver, the old Duel of Champions or other CCGs. I'm ok with that system.

Why is Triss wearing braces in the promo picture? Either that or her top teeth are awfully short.

I'd blame it on the "gritty" art style... But it does look like it, doesn't it?

If you take a look at the other characters it becomes fairly obvious. They're all cosplaying Gwent players.

Good point, didn't think of that. Triss and Yen were too right and image focused on them, so I noticed that the rest didn't fit but rather shrugged it off.

It's all explained here in this interview:

Cosplayers! It all makes sense now. That was a cool touch, to involve them. Thanks for the link :)

I hope your wrong :(.
How you know CDPR are missing people to develop/support Linux?
I can understand they focus on windows first cause it is the major platform everyone is using.
Even if we dont like it, its the sad trueth.

Unlike smaller companies they have money to do Linux development properly, and not "focus" on it later. Which means they don't have people inside who want to do it.
