Season of the Wolf is here with a brand new seasonal mode! This month whenever a unit appears on the battlefield, damage it by 2, then boost it by 4. If it is a Witcher, boost it by 4 instead.

Additionally we have made a couple tweaks with Patch 5.0.9:

- Shop menu item was moved to the top of the screen, it is now easily accessible from "Play" screen as well

- Updated rank table: players now lose less ranks at the start of a new season. From ranks 1 to 13 players lose now 2 ranks, from 14 to 23 1 rank, and 0 ranks from 25 to 30. As for Pro Rank players will now lose 3 ranks apart from the top 500 players

- [iOS] Fixed an issue whereby it was not possible to see Friends in the Social Panel. Challenging Friends is once again possible.

- Fixed an issue whereby the Order ability of Barghest could be activated, even if the Dominance requirement was not satisfied

- Fixed an issue whereby Immortals with Shield status re-gained that status every allied turn. As such Thirsty Dame can no longer get boosted for that interaction incorrectly.

The season will last till February 4th at 10AM CET!

Here are the seasonal rewards:

No, once the transfer is requested your target account is locked specifically to prevent you from logging in (because the process requires to have clean GOG GWENT account with 0 content or progress on it)

Just wanted to express how happy i am about this newest expansion! Though not the biggest expansion we have gotten it is definitely the best one if you ask me.
Merchants of ofier, with only a few cards made a lot of the cards and leaders i, two days ago thought useless and so bad that they where unplayable viable! I love it!

The expansion also brought a lot more flavor and archetypes to gwent with the new scenario artifacts and the other tactical advantage cards. Gwent feels more balanced than ever and i am just enjoying myself with it like a little child. This is why i felt happy bying every single pack in the shop for this expansion!

Thank you so much for making this expansion happen cdpr!

Celebrate the release of Merchants of Ofir with a new limited-time offer, now available from the in-game shop!

Full patchnotes for patch 5.0, which introduces Merchants of Ofir can be found below:

Changes

• The music on the Main Menu has been temporarily changed to celebrate the Merchants of Ofir expansion.
• Several audio improvements for voiceovers mastering, including leveling volume and improving leaders voiceovers on vs screen
• Reactable elements react on mouse down rather than mouse up now
• Leaders won't accidentally walk off the Shipboard during their end game animations
• Only traps with an Order can be manually reversed.
• The following cards can be milled for the full mill value for 3 days: Whispering Hillock,Drummond Warmonger, Pitfall Trap, Serpent Trap, Vrihedd Sappers.

New Features

• New Stratagems are our take on making decks even more customizable. Tactical Advantage is the default Stratagem and it will stay this way, however if players feel like they want an additional inch of personalization, there are 12 new Stratagems to help. They add a bonus layer to deck building and on top of that make matches a little bit more unique.
