Evaluation
GWENT: The Witcher Card Game is a free-to-play online card game that launched on May 19, 2020, and received a sustained cadence of major card drops and expansions through its history — including Way of the Witcher (December 2020), Once Upon A Pyre (June 2021), multiple 2022 expansions, and two card drops in 2023 (April and July). However, on October 17, 2023, CD PROJEKT RED published patch notes for Update 11.10 and explicitly stated this would be "the final card changes made by us," introducing the Balance Council system (branded "GWENTFINITY") to hand future balance decisions to the player community. No developer communications of any kind have appeared since that date. The game continues to run as a live online service — players can still download and play it for free, compete in ranked and seasonal modes, and manage their card collections — but CD PROJEKT RED has effectively concluded its own content development. The game's ongoing operation is maintained by its infrastructure rather than active developer-driven updates.
Evidence
Update 11.10 patch notes explicitly state this contains 'the final card changes made by us,' with future balance handed to the player community via the Balance Council (GWENTFINITY). This is CD PROJEKT RED's last recorded communication.
Patch 11.7 introduced 36 new cards ('The Tide Rises' card drop) — the last major content drop before the developer announced the conclusion of their card development.
