CD Projekt RED has just announced that Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, a brand new adventure set in the world of The Witcher, is coming to the PC on October 23rd. Now while some will drool all over their screens since this is a new The Witcher game, we strongly suggest tempering your expectations.
Thronebreaker is described as a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with unique puzzles and card battle mechanics. Players will follow the story of battle-hardened queen Meve as she takes up arms against the invading Nilfgaardians. Players will build an army, embark on quests, and discover captivating new stories crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
CD Projekt RED has not released any in-game screenshots so we don’t know whether this will feature visuals comparable to The Witcher 3 or whether it will be a more casual offering like Gwent (my guess is the latter as otherwise we’d be bombarded with screenshots). Hell, there isn’t even an official trailer for this game.
So yeah, while CD Projekt RED describes it as a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher, you should not expect anything ground-breaking as the original The Witcher 3 game or the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077.

Do some research next time, the screenshots of the Gwent game are easy to get since the multiplayer part has been in open beta for some time now. Also there was a big redesign recently. And it’s “latter”, not ladder.

Card game? Pass.
It’s the full story campaign for GWENT (the card game). It comes with new visual overhauls for cards/leaders/animations and a revamped battle system (ex. there are 2 rows instead of 3 now).
There’s some dev gameplay on youtube showcasing some of the new stuff.

I remember a time (not too long ago) when a female protagonist was just a normal thing and everyone focused more on the content and quality of the game rather than what gender was on the cover.
That time is long gone because people only focus on that.
It’s hard not to, given the environment. But yeah, that’s true.
“stupid people” < edit that in please. 😉
The logic doesn’t make sense.
How the flying F do SJW/Corps change the game if it has a female lead? It’s a story, a game, fantasy or historically in/accurate etc.
Who cares?
The more you talk about it, the more you feed into it.
Every post now has some loser mentioning this crap, grow up and move on.
If I worried about what people said about anything, I wouldn’t own a single thing.
Now go play a game and try not to talk too much, seeing how you have an obsession.
Oh no. Polly wants a cracker.
Look little dude.
I’ll use small words.
Don’t use Twitter, have an account. Heck, we can just bundle all the other sites/apps into this comment, you know, the ones you can’t use because god only knows, you are a 2 out of 10 at best and that’s without even considering your weight, sorry big people, anyone can lose weight.
Don’t own TW3 seeing how I didn’t enjoy the first 2 to the point I played maybe 30 mins and stopped.
CPR (let’s use that because CDP or CDR is incorrect) can do whatever they want and if I enjoy the game, cool, so far they haven’t convinced me.
Now I grew up using words everyone cries about today, granted we didn’t really use them for their {-connotation- (dang, small words, forgot)} implied meaning. But if I did mean them and said them to someone outside the circle, bet your fat like super fat rear my fist was following my mouth as fast as I spit words like Kollegah.
So small fish. My name is Joel. AZ is my state and Tempe is my town and everyone knows my name. But they won’t get involved. Because they know and I know what time it is. Come visit me and say something smart (unfortunately you’ve proven you can’t) to my face.
I would seriously be impressed if you can get out the door let alone handle the sun for 2 mins and take a vacation to my cold hell.
And remember folks, I only called him out about his pathetic comments. He went full ballistic hiding behind his mobile phone because we all know he don’t have anything bigger to use, including in his pants.
Sorry mate, but living in Tempe/Chandler/gilbert/apacheJ/yada yada yada, does not mean you are tough. Lived OUT that way for a few years. i always laughed as I was one of the few White guys who would walk around in 115F or drive withOUT A/C on every where. I bet you are one of those cucks that has remote start so car is nice and cool and you run out with an umbrella ….
Wish I was what you think so I could be a soft boy. I roll windows down and shades on. I cycle like Lance without the juice. And I swim like a fish. Mountains are climbed barefoot and I eat my meat after cooking it on the sidewalk. But again, why are you defending that POS? I ain’t tough, I am Joel, that’s enough for most people my dude. Later.
He’s only posting for likes, he doesn’t actually have anything of value to say about the game beyond the latest garbage online trend. People need sunshine and some Fking friends in person. I hope the internet is the death of humanity and society if he is an example of what is coming.
True. It was a time of identity peace. It was broken not by gamers.

My dudes.
s_fnx has accounts he uses to like his comments.
Dead serious.
Take nothing he says as serious for various reasons.
He wants to appear like his words are gospel and that any issue that’s current he is a savant about and people agree by liking his comments, sadly they are all ghost accounts. Don’t ask how I know, just know it’s real unlike his personality. I knew dude had a hard childhood ingrained psychosis that manifested into this online thing, god only knows what he went through in HS or College, forget the college part, what was I thinking when I said that?
Anyways, another one to ignore. (I don’t block people but I will not waste my time with him)
Thanks for the info. This guy is beyond logic.
And the mindset of people like you is at the moment there’s a women as main protagonist, you automatically think it’s SJW. Anti-SJW are as worst as SJW themselves. What’s wrong with people like you. Take as it is : A RPG card Game FFS.
Outrage culture in a nutshell. Same mentality as the “enemy” & they don’t even see it.
It’s not BS, it’s a fact, trust me.
Yeah continue to be paranoid, while i’m just playing game for what they are : just game. Oh And stop distort my initial argument, which was stop politicizing (this is excatly what your are trying to do) everything (on both side), ignore and just play game. And maybe the world will be less SJW to your taste.
You are unrecoverable. Return to your stupid rage culture, you seemed very happy to bathed on that sh*t. I return playing game for the LOVE of videogame (something you probably don’t know).
Clearly your alt accounts won’t miss liking your comments.
The effort, I have to give you credit, you sure did ground those likes out with your alts. I thought CSGO players with 8k hours were no lifers. You have taken the crown. Congrats, you have the most likes to comment ratio I have ever seen and you did it all by yourself (get it?). That’s some true dedication.
Sidenote: Someone friend this guy in real life. And if you do, I will send you some games I have to fill your Steam account with. 😉
That requires the desire to play games instead of the need for likes with socially unfit humans and cow sized brains. Apologies to all the heifers, I meant no offense. That includes you too Steers!
what is SJW even? 😛
you can read the title where it says GWENT in capital right?
women exist. get over it.
Yeah because every other CDPR game has only ever been a female Protagonst right?
I never had a desire to play Gwent and this game does not change my mind.
Ew. Cell shaded…
Strong, Independence Female protagonist!! hmmm….
CDPR, instead of wasting time and money on all this Gwent sh*t could have taken those resources to deliver TW3: Definitive Edition, with new animations, gameplay/gfx improvements and probably Vulkan support or the likes.
Guessing the studios and staff who would do all that are hard at work on Cyberpunk.
Instead of bashing a company, maybe learn how they schedule projects and assign resources.
CP was announced 5 years ago, do you think the WHOLE team was working on it since then? They probably spent a good amount of time designing the concept and planning, so yes, I do believe it was possible to do an Enhanced Edition, but they decided to make another boring card game instead.
Yes, the WHOLE team has been working, and continues to work on CyberPunk. I don’t know what their staff total numbers at. Why would they interrupt the production cycle at ANY point, and take everyone (or even 10% of the staff) OFF CyberPunk just to revisit a project from 4 years ago? You’re not talking a modded version I assume, so they’d have to put a significant amount of time and money into the coding and production of new features, updated textures, etc. that would be required.
“Yes, the WHOLE team”.
Yes, I’m sure you have insider info. You convinced me.
Oh my god you are insufferable. How completely deluded do you have to be to start crying about SJW’s when CD Projekt RED (The studio that has made several games with both male and female main characters) decides to release a game with a female character.
Fck off
Guys don’t feed the s_fnx troll. This dude’s a complete idiot who has multiple accounts to prop himself up.
haha really? what is he even about with the woman thing O_O I dont get it
He’s just an idiot. Now a days, merely having a female character is enough to get people screeching about “sjw’s”
I’m sure it’s impressive, pretty much everything CDPR has put out is, but Gwent was never really my thing.
Happy to wait for Cyberpunk, as I know it will be incredible. (also saving up for some hardware – something tells me I’m going to want more than a 980 for it).
-oh boy a new witcher game
>Gwent
GG.
GOG became another Valve
we are born by the shekels
made men by the shekels
undone by the shekels…
Whats your point? I dont get it lol. Cyberpunk has a woman, Witcher 3 had 1 too for a bit and they always had women characters.
The woman thing only works for WW2 and BF5, here and in any other game however? Who cares? lol.
