CD Projekt Red is not planning to release its single-player Gwent spin-off, Project Golden Nekker, on consoles.Gwent Comms lead Paweł Burza confirmed to IGN that the game will be available at launch on PC, iOS, and Android when it is released later this year.Gwent was available on consoles from December 2018 to June 2020, while another spin-off, The Witcher Tales: Thronebreaker, is still available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.But game director Vladimir Tortsov said on the latest This Week in Gwent – a weekly stream hosted by Burza – that there are currently no plans to bring this new game to consoles.”With consoles, we left them for a reason,” he said. “There was obviously some good about them otherwise it wouldn’t be released on consoles in the first place, but for live service games with frequent updates it was a really tough experience.”Overall, since we’re not there, we’re not planning to bring any of our spin-offs to consoles at this point.”CD Projekt Red revealed the new spin-off, codenamed Project Golden Nekker, to IGN in January, saying it aims to provide a “captivating single-player experience” different to the mainline multiplayer version of Gwent.Every CD Projekt Red ReviewWhile Thronebreaker is also a single-player spin-off, taking the form of an RPG where players battle using Gwent cards, Project Golden Nekker will be something else entirely – we just don’t know what that is right now.CD Projekt Red hasn’t yet confirmed a release date for the game but all previous Witcher titles, including both Gwent games, have been released in either May or October, making the latter a likely candidate for Project Golden Nekker’s release.Some of the cards set to feature in the game were already released into the multiplayer Gwent earlier this month, including the Golden Nekker itself, with future card drops set to arrive in July, October, and December.Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who occasionally remembers to tweet @thelastdinsdale.
