We know that you want to share progress and purchases on your GWENT account on multiple gaming platforms. We want to see this true cross-platform experience coming to GWENT, too! However, while we’re already fully supporting matchmaking between PC and other platforms, support of shared progress and purchases isn’t entirely within our control. We are very happy that it was possible to be achieved between iOS and PC out of the box, but other platforms are a more complicated matter due to the different policies that govern them.
We promise that we are not giving up on the subject of connecting all GWENT players together and enabling unified cross-progression and purchases. We will continue our ongoing conversations with platform-holders to enable GWENT players to easily switch platforms on the go without losing anything.
In this month’s challenge, you will be choosing from one of the 6 factions in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. Faction whose supporters complete the most quests during the challenge will claim victory, granting benefits to all players for a limited time:
+40% bonus XP when playing as the winning faction
+30% bonus XP when playing the second place faction
+25% bonus XP when playing the 3rd to 6th place faction
The Challenge will last until Wednesday, September 25th, 12 PM (noon) CEST.
Select the faction you wish to support via the Faction Challenge popup or the Quests tab.
Play games* and complete special quests to earn rewards: Faction Kegs and Reward Points.
* Games played or won before committing to a specific team will not count toward your challenge progress.
* Only games played in Seasonal and Classic modes will count toward you challenge progress – you will not be able to complete quests via friend challenges or in the Arena.
we’re planning to perform a routine maintenance of our official forums — it is scheduled for Thursday, September 19th 2019 at 10 AM CEST. Forums will be offline for about 4 hours.
Eight of the best GWENT players faced off in Warsaw this weekend for the final Challenger tournament of this GWENT Masters series... and it was Magpie131 who left the city victorious! Even though it was his first appearance in an official GWENT tournament, he managed to emerge victorious after a 3:2 series with Freddybabes in the first match of Day 1. During Day 2, he defeated two of the tournament’s favourites – kolemoen in the semifinal, and Damorquis in the final.
The North is on the rise and Radovid is back to bring justice to his enemies. Stand by his side or defy royal authority — whichever you choose, get ready for some of the fiercest battles in GWENT’s history.
Our animators are still working on Iron Judgment cardback to bring its central piece to life with beautiful animations, but we wanted to share it with you this work in progress preview.
Iron Judgment Pre-Order pack will be available for purchase only until expansion release on October 2nd. Don’t miss the opportunity to get it while the offer lasts!
NEW WAYS TO WAGE WAR
Utilize new tactics to get an advantage on the battlefield, reinforce your decks with elite warriors from all 6 factions, including 21 neutral cards. Iron Judgment adds over 80 new cards to GWENT as new (and returning!) mechanics:
Armor
Protects a unit from damage. This value doesn't count towards your score and/or the unit’s power
Many units from Iron Judgment expansion have armor, so finding a weak spot in enemies’ defenses can be a challenge. That’s when Stunning Blow comes in handy!
Stunning Blow
Exposed
Trigger this ability whenever this unit loses its Armor
When units lose their Armor unpredictable things can happen - sometimes it will make them stronger (or angrier), but sometimes that would be their utter doom, like in the case of Greater Brothers.
Greater Brothers
Barricade
Trigger this ability if a unit has Armor
Armoring up your units not only increases their life expectancy, but can bring additional benefits. That is if the unit with Armor has Barricade keyword. For instance, as long as Dwarf Berserker has any Armor, he will relentlessly attack enemy units.
Dwarf Berserker
Defender
Units with defender protect other units on a given row and need to be targeted first by your opponent.
Heroes always arise in times of war and strife to protect the innocents (or valuable engines). Units with Defender ability always ready to take the beating protecting more vulnerable allies on the same row.
Cave Troll
We will be revealing more Iron Judgment cards every day until the release of the expansion on October 2nd, you can check out the reveals here.
Recently we’ve decided that bundles will mostly be purchasable for real money both on PC, consoles and later in the future on iOS.
This change will help us grow the game more and create really sweet vanities in the future. Some ornaments will still be purchasable with meteorite powder.
With update 4.0 our in-game shop description of meteorite powder will read: Meteorite powder can be used to transmute standard cards into their animated, premium version. It's also used to purchase some of the ornaments - available in different shop sections.
Truly sorry to disappoint, but syncing progress of PS4 and Xbox One with PC/iOS isn't entirely within our control. There is a dependency on 3rd parties, which seriously limits our options here.
Tune in to our official Twitch.tv, YouTube or Mixer channels this weekend (Saturday and Sunday, starting at 4PM CEST on both days) for some GWENT action!
GWENT’s finest will compete for a share of the 100.000 USD prize pool, Challenger’s winner title and ring, and a spot in the GWENT World Masters tournament.
As always, their efforts will be live commentated and analyzed by a wonderful broadcast team:
Rumour has it even Eredin’s back in town… so don’t miss it!
GWENT on iOS combines the full feature set of the PC version with controls reimagined for the touch interface. Progress and purchases are shared between iOS and PC (using GOG account), so players can easily switch platforms anytime. Note that while iOS players can still play against PC, Xbox One and PS4 opponents, progress and purchases cannot be shared between console accounts and iOS - this is beyond our control.
Supported devices include iPhone 6S or newer (including iPhone 11), iPad Mini 4 and newer, iPad 5th generation and newer, iPad Air 2 and newer and all iPad Pro devices. Additionally, on the most powerful iOS devices, GWENT has built-in 4K textures.
More details about the iOS version of GWENT will be shared this weekend during GWENT Challenger! Watch it on the official CD PROJEKT RED channel on Twitch on the 14th and 15th of September, starting at 4PM CEST (both days).
