CD Projekt Red has confirmed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's upcoming Songs of the Past expansion will come with more Gwent, and card game lovers are already celebrating.
The Witcher 3 earned a lot of praise when it launched back in 2015. While Doug Cockle's gravelly delivery as Geralt helped sell its story, and its RPG gameplay quickly hooked in every kind of fantasy fan, many would say Gwent was what truly kept them coming back for more.
"In Gwent, gamers clash with friends in fast-paced duels that combine skill-based play with bluffing, and careful deck construction," an official description from CD Projekt Red says. "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."
CD Projekt Red's in-universe card game first launched within the third installment in its Witcher series before being transformed into a standalone spinoff in 2017 and a real-life tabletop experience in 2025. It's a formula others have unsuccessfully attempted to mimic, but few have managed to stand the test of time quite like Gwent. That's probably exactly why it will be making a comeback when the developer returns to The Witcher 3 with its Songs of the Past expansion in 2027.
CD Projekt Red community and social media manager Marcin Łukaszewski teased the return of the fan-favorite side activity when replying to a player on X/Twitter .
