The Gwent Crimson Curse expansion has been announced and it will be arriving sooner than you might think; it will be coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One later this March. Gwent is a digital card game created by CD Projekt Red that's set in the universe of The Witcher. It's been quietly chugging along, but the game could certainly have used a major content update. Players will now be able to check out a bunch of new goodies very soon with the announcement of this latest major update.
