Hey everyone!

While the first card-drop of 2023 is only one more month away, we are introducing some keychanges with Update 11.3, specifically to Draft and bandits like Gascon!

Before jumping into the update, make sure to check out our Developer Update for more thoughts on the changes.

Changes

Draft Mode: GWENTFINITY update - Introducing several key changes to future-proof Draft Mode, and make the experience more distinct overall:

-The drafting process has been changed. After drafting the leader ability, players draft packages of three cards, eight times, and then draft their stratagem. Players will receive the option to add, and then remove a single package after each match.

-The packages are no longer manually built, but randomly generated from the ownable card pool. Each package is assigned a faction faction, and has a total provision cost ranging from 20 to 26.

-The in-game timer has been reduced from the usual 60 seconds to 25 seconds.

These changes aim at making Draft a more varied environment and to future-proof the game mode in the context of GWENTFINITY. The change of the turn timer also aims at making matches quicker, further differentiating Draft mode from standard matches. For more info, tune in to the developer's video!

Hey everyone,

We have lots to cover in the Update 10.12 Patch Notes including new cards, a Winter Event and balance changes!

As usual, we also have a brand new developer update for you to enjoy:


Sacred and Profane - Pray and worship, or live in fear; the advent of the gods is near!

The Sacred and Profane card drop introduces two new legendary cards for each playable faction.

A Greedy God- Welcome the winter by making a series of offerings... and hope for blessings in return! Help six unlikely pilgrims satisfy the greedy Allgod's endless appetite, by completing quests for him on the new event page, to unlock new vanity rewards, including titles, cardbacks, and a coin.

The event starts on December 8th and ends on December 27th.
