This week we brought you news of Gwent, a leaked card game based upon The Witcher's universe. While our very own gravel chopped editor Robert Ramsey maintained hope that it may end up on consoles, this author assumed that it would be a smartphone thing. Whichever of us turns out to be correct, it seems that the game's going to be a big deal, as CD Projekt Red's bought the advertising slot on the Fig Hotel.
If you're new to this E3 lark, then know that the three-pronged mural has played host to many a major title, including Grand Theft Auto V. The advertisement's not quite complete yet, but it looks exceedingly Witcher-esque to us – perhaps with a subtle cartoon spin. Maybe the Polish developer's got money to burn following the success of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – or perhaps this card game's going to be a big deal after all.

This will be stand alone game on ios/android/ps4/xo/win/linux with cross play. I wish.
I think your right that CD Projekt probably has money to burn......cover a hotel with murals for a card game?, why not!!
What's with the modern day glasses, cup with straw, possible phone in hand(please don't be mobile only game) etc
More to do with thanking the fans maybe or saying that anyone can feel part of the Witcher world...
Something less than obvious about that, all faces so far to me look out of place and delibrately so, like taken from photographs.
I just drove past that huge thing, had no idea it related to the card game, probably going to be an epic E3
Maybe, just maybe and I'm clutching at straws here.
It's something cryptic pointing to cyberpunk 2077??
Probably not but I can hope!!!
As much as I really love Gwent, not sure it has enough depth to work as a stand alone game
@mrobinson91 What? For me there was a moment while playing Witcher 3 that I said to myself: "could it be that there's more about this game than just playing Gwent and obtaining Gwent cards?" The game has plenty of depth and combine that with some smooth animations and sounds like Hearthstone has and you've got yourself a potential hit.
I've known they were working on it for quite some time, but I figured CDPR didn't green lit it after all since it took them so long. I wonder if it can still ride the Witcher 3 hype wave, cause it might be they've waited a bit too long.
@Boerewors I hope they can pull it off and transfer it to a stand alone game well, but I just have my concerns. I loved playing Gwent in the Witcher and it's what got me into Magic The Gathering which feels like it has a lot more depth and variety to it. Like you say, if Hearthstone can succeed then maybe Gwent can
I have not played Witcher 3 so have no idea what Gwent even is but what's B.A Baracus doing in it?
Am I wrong in thinking that bethesda was working on some kind of card game?
Gwent was the only part of the Witcher that didn't put me to sleep. Here is hoping for PS vita support!
PS Vita baby!
All that for a card game?
@PlaytendoGuy Have you played Gwent? It is so addictive and the #1 reason why I play the Witcher 3 actually! XD
I'd rather just play it in The Witcher to be honest.
I hope a version is available for PS vita.
