Development is ending on Gwent and The Witcher: Monster Slayer

CD Projekt Red has a massive roadmap in place for future games, including a new Witcher trilogy, a remake of the first Witcher game and a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. With so many projects on the go and a limited amount of time and resources, some other games are going to fall by the wayside. 

This week, CD Projekt Red announced that after seven years of development, it is dropping support for Gwent, the standalone card game that launched following the success and popularity of Gwent within The Witcher 3. While the standalone version of Gwent made some changes to the way the game is played, it was also supported for a long time with tournaments and expansions.

Gwent will continue to be supported through 2023, but it seems next year will be the game's last. In 2024, support for the game will end and there will be no more expansions. While development support is coming to an end, CD Projekt Red is not shutting down the game's servers, so you'll still be able to play it after that date.

CDPR's Witcher mobile spin-off, The Witcher: Monster Slayer, is shutting down. Servers for that game will be going offline in June 2023, but the game will also be unlisted from the App Store and Play Store at the end of January 2023.

KitGuru Says: Gwent had a great run and the card pool has expanded with plenty of great new options. Its time might be coming to an end, but there will still be some new cards released next year as a last hoorah.
