But the presentation serves upwards or then interesting information well-nigh Gwent as well as GOG every bit well. The Witcher-based CCG Gwent seems to endure coming along nicely—"It's non really big stuff, only it's going pretty well," Kicinski says at i point—and a nautical chart shown during the presentation indicates it's making or then bucks, too.

"No i said that i twenty-four hr menstruation nosotros won't create upwards one's demand heed to prepare something inward the Witcher universe. But similar a shot we're focusing on Cyberpunk as well as Gwent."
