Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is now available for Windows
on GOG.com,
offering a new single-player RPG set in the Witcher universe that incorporates
some of the virtual card gameplay of GWENT. This also has perks for GWENT
players, including 20 new cards. Here's a
new story trailer, and
here are the details: Thronebreaker is a single player role-playing game
set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with
unique puzzles and card battle mechanics.
Crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game spins a truly regal tale of Meve, a war-veteran
queen of two Northern Realms — Lyria and Rivia. Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian
invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath, and set out on a dark
journey of destruction and revenge.
Main Features:
- Experience an all new 30-hour Witcher Tale with 20
possible world end-states.
- Embark on over 75 thought-provoking side quests —
one of the hallmarks of The Witcher series.
- Explore never-before-seen parts of The Witcher
world — Lyria, Rivia, Aedirn, Mahakam and Angren.
- Manage resources, recruit and develop units in
your very own customizable war camp.
- Build an army and engage in story battles, which
twist the game’s rules in wildly unexpected ways.
Additional Features:
- Thronebreaker features over 250 single player
tailored cards, as well as 20 brand new cards for
GWENT: The Witcher Card Game.
- Each card represents an entity in the game —
characters players interact with during open world exploration can become
on-hand assets, deployable during battle.
- During each playthrough, players make choices and
face their consequences — acting against an ally’s convictions might cause
their card to disappear from the deck.
- Mastering the campaign allows unlocking premium
animated versions of cards, additional multiplayer avatars, borders, and
titles.
- Fully voice-overed dialogues, localized into 11
languages.
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales comes with these bonus items:
- Concept art, including the map of Lyria
- Digital version of GWENT: Art of The Witcher Card
Game artbook from Dark Horse.
- The Witcher graphic novel "Fox Children" by Dark
Horse
- 2 in-game GWENT: The Witcher Card Game Player
Titles

maps inspired by the rugged landscapes of Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota.

I'm a little sore this morning after a bizarre dog-walking incident last night.
As I've mentioned, we're local outlaws, as I let the Gunnar-man walk off the
leash for the most part, even though that's prohibited in this area. At one
point Jedi and I were waiting at a corner for Gunnar to finish his business, but
he cut the corner when he was done, getting ahead of us. At this point
Gunnar noticed we weren't in front of him where he expected us to be, so he took
off down the sidewalk in an ill-conceived attempt to catch up with us. By the
time I realized this, he was already far enough away that he couldn't hear me
calling, and Jedi and I had to take off down the block after him. Luckily, the
same advanced age that made it hard for Gunnar to hear me also makes him slow
enough that we eventually caught up with him. But this was after a pretty
long sprint for me considering I don't do a lot of running these days, not to
mention I was
wearing steel-toed work boots in place of running shoes. So yeah, I have a
strain today, I'm not sure if its a glut or a high hamstring, but either way I'll
be
limping around for a while.
