'Gwent: The Witcher Card Game' Open Beta Starts May 24
CD Projekt Red has announced further details about the upcoming public beta for "Gwent: The Witcher Card Game."
According to Eurogamer, "Gwent" will head to open beta on Wednesday, May 24, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The free-to-play card video game has been accessible via closed beta for quite some time now. Unfortunately, for those who have been playing so far, their progress will be reset to make sure that everyone has equal footing when the beta begins.
Closed beta participants, however, will have a bit of advantage over other players. Those who purchased Card Kegs using real money will have the same number of Kegs in the public beta, along with bonus Kegs depending on rank and level when the closed beta concluded.
