We’re excited to announce the release of the latest update to <span class="bold">GWENT: The Witcher Card Game</span>, introducing a new playable faction — Nilfgaard.

With its control and espionage oriented playstyle, Nilfgaard equips players with gameplay mechanics that allow for revealing cards in the opponent’s hand, controlling the order of cards in player decks, and use of disloyal units, among others.

The update expands the number of cards available in the game by over 60 — new additions also include faction-specific cards for Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, Skellige and Monsters, as well as neutral cards usable by every faction.

See the full list of changes <span class="bold">here</span>.

Watch the “Nilfgaard arrives!” trailer:

Question about Nilfgaard, why is black infantry arbalest which is a 5 str card that can damage 3, possibly 5, is common (white) while a fire scorpion is a 5 str card that can only damage 3 is a rare (blue). Both can only target non gold, and doesn't have any other skill or token.

Good patch! Thank you CDProjektRED

Well for me you f****d up whole game with this update, adding new cards its one thing but nerfing/mixing others is other thing.

You completely destroyed my favourite Skellige deck and made it defensless against others.
I believe many other players are also angry that you forced them to change playstyle the liked.

I see team is taking bad example from Blizzard, which is hated by many for turing evetyihng upside down with each update.
Dont go that way. You know you are not forced to change old when you intorduce new. Sometimes old one is good enough to leave it.

You really have to nerf Dagon .
He is pretty the only monster leader u will see on ladder which sucks.

I like some of the changes. Weather's not quite so bad and more counterable now, though they have merged Clear Sky too.. And Nilfgaard seem interesting, probably some good strategies to be had there.

But I'm really not sure how to rebuild my ST deck now...

What is wrong with Reinforcment now? It seems like it's broken!
Weather seems pretty overpowered now and Decoy is almost useless as a silver card.

Otherwise it seems pretty nice so far

Niko-san: Oh no... our servers are completelt overloaded...
Don't know if being overloaded is their problem, but since a few days before this update came, the game cannot find any opponents for me... It searches and searches and after 1:30 minute it stops. I start again and this goes all over. When it FINALY finds an opponent, it is mostly the same person (like just now I have played the same person about 5 times in a row), or chooses from a few and the same persons over and over again... Often I have to wait more than 15 minutes to be paired... Discussed this with the developers already, and I'm yet to receive the answer...

So don't know if it's because of overloaded servers, but something is definitely wrong, since before I did not have to wait to be paired usualy more than a few seconds...

weather has taken a dive now that only one row can be cleared. seems you need to stock up on clear skies. definatley favours the monster faction. northern realms facrion has been nutted back a bit and seeing as they were the lowest powered faction that seems unfair. otherwise the game is looking ok. getting use to nilguard will be fun.

I don't know... adding the weather immunity potion and making you jump back up to buffed strength when weather is removed makes weather a little less devastating.. so all in all I'd say it's not really changed too much.

I think I like Nilfguard, need to get some decent cards (just debating whether to use my scrap horde for that or a few powerful ST cards) and try build a proper deck but I can see it being fun to play.

Still no servers for me.

ralphunreal: Does anyone know if the game will be free to play when it is out? Also is there an offline component to the game?
It looks like it will function like Hearthstone... some standard decks to play, and then booster packs will cost some cash.

Or unlockable more slowly by grinding.

In my experience anyway, I don't think CD has announced if it will be free or not.
