A standalone, single-player campaign of sorts for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game called Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales was also released that year.

“It’s not another Witcher Tales [game] but something different,” Gwent communications lead Paweł Burza told IGN. “We’re aiming to provide a captivating single-player for players who prefer it over competitive multiplayer Gwent.”  

As noted above, Project Golden Nekker is scheduled to release at some point in 2022. It is set to be a single-player, standalone video game based on Gwent, but details beyond that are limited at this point. Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales are both currently available digitally across a number of platforms.
