“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” has been widely popular among game enthusiasts. The Polish game developer successfully brought the main character Geralt of Rivia and his unique set of friends to life with realistic voice acting, storytelling and excellent character development.

Fans of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” have been expressing their gratitude to Polish game developer CD Projekt Red for coming out with a standalone Gwent game recently.
The game is officially titled “Gwent: The Witcher Card Game” and according to CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwinski, the game development company has taken all the heart and energy from fans of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” and put it into the development of the stand-alone Gwent game.
