As many of us clamour us for even the slightest bit of news about Cyberpunk 2077, it’s important to remember that there’s another more pressing single-player experience coming up from CD Projekt Red. Although it was slated for this year, however, Gwent’s Thronebreaker single-player has been pushed back to next year.
The CCG was revealed a long time back and has been in a beta period for a long time. What makes Gwent different to other games of its ilk is that it will feature a fully-formed offline campaign, but we will have to wait a little while longer to see it.
Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of CD Projekt Red, explained the decision to hold fire in a blog post:
“We decided to increase the campaign’s scope and need more time to work on it. Shifting release windows is always something we approach seriously, however, we’ll never hesitate to do it if we feel you’ll get a better game as a result. I would like to apologize everyone who planned to play Thronebreaker over the Holidays — I assure you that we will do our best to make the final game worth the additional wait.”
Delays suck, there’s no denying that, but it is almost never a bad thing in terms of the finished product. With so many games being rushed to shelves and patched later, it’s always refreshing to see a developer take their time to get things. CDPR are no stranger to delays after having to pushing back The Witcher 3, but that worked out just fine, you could say.
If you’re craving more Witcher, you can pick up the complete edition of The Wild Hunt for relative pennies in the Black Friday PlayStation Store promotion. Not to depress you even more, but you should also be aware that they won’t be making The Witcher 4.
