[quote cite=”Marcin Momot, Senior Social Media and Community Coordinator”]“GWENT was made because of the amazing effort of The Witcher community – we’ve received tons and tons of messages to make a standalone version happen and now we finally have the chance to show GWENT to the public for the first time. Gamescom is one of those special events that allows us to thank gamers for their support in person. So we’d love to have a chat with you in Cologne, hear your thoughts about GWENT and get direct feedback on how the game plays for you,” [/quote]
