Gwent Rogue Mage

• Announced this week was the roguelike deck builder Gwent: Rogue Mage. Players will take the role of Alzur as he roams the countryside trying to find out how to create the first Witcher.
• Gwent: Rogue Mage’s initial deck will consist of cards that excel when they are boosted (or have their strength buffed).
• Gwent: Rogue Mage will be purely single-player, in a similar vein to Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. However, this new deck builder will not have the story take center stage. In fact, CD Projekt Red doesn’t consider this game’s setting to be part of the mainline game’s lore.
• Instead, it will be a rogue-lite game where failure looks like it constantly looms its ugly head around the player.
• The game will release on July 7, 2022, with the standard edition starting at $9.99.
