Massive ‘Agile’ Update for GWENT Now Live – Includes Mahakam Ale Festival Event
CD Projekt RED‘s free-to-play trading card game, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game has had a ton of success since its inception last year. The developers are constantly updating and fixing issues within the game (much like they did with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) to create a fluid gaming experience. With their latest update, dubbed Agile, GWENT has quite a few changes and fixes to look forward to, as well as a new in-game event titled Mahakam Ale Festival.
Within GWENT, agile cards are those that can be placed on any of the board’s three rows: infantry, ranged, and siege. CDPR made over 40 unit cards agile with the latest update, changing the tactics necessary to defeat and defend against your opponents. Be sure to check all of your decks to find which units can be utilized anywhere on the game board.
Furthermore, the Agile update also brings a new event titled Mahakam Ale Festival. During the festival, players will be able to unlock new avatars, borders, and titles for their profiles. During the first three days of the festival, players will be able to mill (or scrap) certain cards for materials equal to the value of materials needed to create the respective cards. Those cards are as follows:
- Battering Ram
- Blue Stripes Commando
- Dijkstra
- Dun Banner Heavy Cavalry
- Mahakam Marauder
- Merigold’s Hailstorm
- Nenneke
- Prince Stennis
- Restore
- Shani
Along with the agile unit card changes and the Festival, numerous fixes and changes to cards have been implemented throughout GWENT. One of these changes is that single player challenges will now provide players with experience points. Even better is that challenges that have already been completed will provide experience points retroactively, meaning you won’t have to redo the challenges to get the credit for them.
