From CD Projekt Red:
Gwent

In Gwent, gamers clash with their friends in fast-paced duels that combine bluffing, on-the-fly decision making and careful deck construction. The game is played over a best-of-three series of rounds, as players unleash their hand by slinging spells and diverse units with special abilities and use clever tricks to deceive their opponents.

Register for Beta

"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."

Available at release for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4, Gwent is a free-to-play game that puts you, not your cards, in the center of the action.
