CD Projekt Red has released another entry in The Witcher series of games. The studio is billing Gwent: Rogue Mage as a single-player expansion for Gwent, but it's sold separately. Available today on PC, iOS and Android for $10, the $20 Premium version comes with exclusive Gwent exclusives.
Rogue Mage was announced earlier this year under the working title of Project Golden Nekker. It takes place hundreds of years before the birth of Witcher protagonist Geralt of Rivia. Protect humanity from monster attacks.
Don't expect a lot of detail to continue playing in the main Witcher game. “While we have a story to tell about Alzur's passion for creating the first witch, we don't consider this expansion to be a purely add-on.
We hope players will be immersed enough to complete the gameplay first and foremost,” Game Director Vladimir Tortsov told IGN. But we didn't expect the story to be the main reason for players to appreciate this release.
