The Witcher 3’s Collector’s Edition Comes with Card Decks on Xbox One

It has been revealed that Xbox One players will get an exclusive physical content with the collector’s edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Those who pre-order the Xbox One version of the game’s extravagant collector’s edition will get a cloth map and two decks of cards so they can play the Witcher’s in-game card game with friends.

“Gwent is an amazing game and we’re really happy to be able to bring it to the physical realm with Microsoft’s help,” said CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Iwiñski. “Now we’ve got Gwent in every copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as an in-game experience for free on every platform, and a physical version in the Xbox One CE, how awesome is that?”

“Gwent is a fast-paced card game that can be played within The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on every platform,” added the studio. “Invented by dwarves and perfected over centuries of tavern table play, Gwent is a game of initial simplicity and ultimate depth, something beloved by both road-weary travelers during long nights around the campfire and elegant nobles looking to liven up dragging dinner parties.

“The game is about the clash of two armies locked in mortal struggle on a battlefield where the players are the leaders and the cards their forces. With four different factions offering unique combat styles and endless paths to victory, Gwent is every adventurer’s first choice when it comes to one-on-one card-based dueling. Take risks and think on your feet, strategize and deliver cunning combos, use potent magic and mighty hero cards and be the last one standing on the field of honor!”

The collector’s edition now contains all of the following on Xbox One:

• The standard edition of the game, containing: the official soundtrack, a beautiful and detailed map of the in-game world, unique stickers, and the developer-created “Witcher Universe – The Compendium”
• A giant, 33x24x26 cm, 100% hand painted, Polystone figure of Geralt of Rivia battling a Griffin
• An exclusive, collector grade Witcher medallion
• A one of a kind SteelBook
• A two-hundred page artbook, containing breathtaking art from the game
• A cloth map of the game world
• Two Gwent card decks
• Huge outer and inner Collector’s Boxes you can store your Witcher merchandise in!

Developer CD Projekt RED recently gave a presentation of the game at SDCC.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will come to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in February of next year. You can mark that on your calendars too, because CD Projekt RED confirmed there would be no more delays of the game.
