Patch notes for 10.2 are here!
This update is going to be pretty eventful (wink wink) as soon our Love Event will start! This time, a series of challenges will await you, aiming at reuniting some of GWENT's most known couples.
That is not the only treat this month, as the new Journey is starting tomorrow (but more about that when the Patch goes live). Of course we didn't forget about the regular balance changes and fixes.
Check all of the news in detail below and join Pawel Burza and Jean Auquier for our Developer Update, in which they go over the most important changes and explain our thoughts behind them.
New Features
New Journey! (No spoilers!)
New Love Event!
