All fans of The Witcher 3’s Gwent will be thrilled to know that a new single-player card game is coming this year.
According to IGN, a brand new standalone single player game codenamed Project Golden Nekker will be released within the year.
Developed by CD Projekt Red, the same studio that bought us The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077, the game aims to offer an entirely new standalone experience that would stand out from the previous variants of the digital card game.
Speaking of which, Gwent saw massive growth in popularity in the last Witcher game, but it fully evolved into a standalone single-player game back in 2016.
The first official spin-off, The Witcher Tales: Thronebreaker, was released back in 2018, but reports suggest the upcoming version will be something completely different.
CD Projekt Red has been sparse with details, but has apparently given hints about the new project over the past few months, with live streams and community projects alluding to the card game.
If these clues have gotten to much for you, don’t worry, the official Project Golden Nekker reveal is coming soon, although no dates have been announced yet.
Concept art for the game was also revealed, with the titular Golden Nekker taking center stage alongside Living Fire and Fire Elemental.
Since they’re all Gwent card-themed, perhaps let’s take a look at some of the playable units from the new game. You can check out the images just below.

The roadmap for Gwent in 2022 shows new maps coming in April, July, October and December. It’s also worth noting that every Witcher game has historically released in either May or October, so Witcher fans might want to keep an eye out during those months.
