The new update for GWENT is now live. Called the "Agile" patch, over 40 units receive the agile ability and the Mahakam Ale Festival also begins.
The Mahakam Ale Festival offers challenges and rewards for those drinking festivals among you who manage to survive the bumblebee the next morning. Familiar cards also have new abilities that only occur in this event. Have fun!
Gwent - The first holiday event
Everyone has heard of Mahakam, but few have seen the inside of the dwarf fortress. The oldest chef Brouver Hoog does not trust the hikers and only opens the gates with the greatest suspicion ... unless they come to the great Mahakam Ale Festival.
Come along and celebrate with us! During the Mahakam Ale Festival you can play three brand new challenges, on two different levels of difficulty. Get your player avatar, a frame and your title - all you have to do is play.
The event starts on September 29th and ends when the beer runs out ... (that should be October 12th, in case you're wondering).
See you in Mahakam!
One little guide to successfully overcome the challenges there is also.
Below you will find the complete German patch notes for the latest GWENT patch:
The German GWENT patch notes
A new update for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game is now available on PC, XBOX and PS4. With this update, we've made over 40 units agile, fixed various bugs, and rebalanced some maps with a special focus on the Northern Kingdoms. In addition, you get the Mahakam Ale Festival, in which you can earn a new avatar, a frame and a title.
The following cards will have their Grind increased for 3 days after the patch is released (more on this below):
- Shani
- Battering ram command of the Blue Stripes
- Dijkstra
- Gray Ensign heavy cavalry
- Mahakam raiders
- Merigold's hailstorm
- Nenneke

When the cards on this list are ground, they discard as much scraps and meteorite dust as is otherwise required to make a card of the same rank. The full list of all changes can be found here: New Features
