Today CD Projekt RED, the developer behind The Witcher franchise, released the Midwinter Update for Gwent.
The Midwinter Update is available for download now on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. Gwent is a card game found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It gives you and your opponent a set of cards which simulate battles. You must use certain warriors at the right time to win. Gwent got a standalone experience a few months ago but since then many gamers have been asking for a single-player expansion. While this may seem like an odd request, The Witcher lore is so vast that a lot of stories can be told through it.
According to the developer, the Midwinter Update adds more than a hundred cards to the game, many of which have new abilities and gameplay mechanics sure to shake things up on the battlefield. The update also introduces the story-driven Midwinter Hunt. The Midwinter Hunt stars Geralt of Rivia as he faces a new set of challenges. Succeeding in the Midwinter Hunt rewards players with a themed avatar, frame, and title.
This update not only features new cards, but it also adds a daily quest system and a significant revamp of certain features. For example, a new deck builder is available as well as a new and card replacement screen. The update also improves the game's visuals a little bit. You can view the complete patch notes on the game's website.
