CD Projekt Red revealed a lot about it today….it’s an entire new set themed around Novigrad, the city from The Witcher 3. The Novigrad expansion adds a new faction called The Syndicate. This faction is represented by over 90 cards and five new leaders from Novigrad’s criminal underworld. 15 cross-faction cards will also be introduced, which can be used in both Syndicate decks and any other faction in the game. New abilities and mechanics introduce with the Novigrad expansion include Crowns, a battle resource that allows units with the Fee ability to “perform vile acts against the opponent” (CDPR isn’t specific here, so they must be truly nasty).

The visuals have been redesigned, a new card type has been added, there are over 30 new cards, new gameplay mechanics and a revamped deck building system. “GWENT came a long way since its Witcher 3: Wild Hunt days,” says Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, game director of GWENT. “From mini-game to standalone CCG, the title grew significantly throughout development.
