A new Arena mode for Gwent came out today courtesy of CD Projekt Red. The developers behind The Witcher franchise and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, wanted fans of Gwent to have some tasty new content today.
In Arena, players create decks by drafting cards from Gwent’s entire collection and fight for rewards. Decks in Arena follow their own set of rules, separate from other game modes. When building their armies, players can use cards from all playable factions, as well as use more copies of certain card types. The game ends once a player wins nine games or loses three. The more opponents are defeated, the greater the reward is.

The new game mode is governed by the nefarious Gaunter O’Dimm — a fan-favorite character from Hearts of Stone, an expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. To participate in Arena, players need to enter Master Mirror’s realm by using a new in-game item called Mirror Shards. Shards are attainable using real or in-game currency.

You can always find some additional details about the new Arena mode and the mirror Shard promo over at the Gwent website. For those of you who haven't tried it out yet, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is free to play.
