I'll leave the title of this newsbit with a question mark at this point, but I think it's pretty clear by the picture that GameSpot snapped near the LA Convention Center that CD Projekt RED intends to announce, well, something related to The Witcher series at next week's E3. The promotional art that dons the side of the Figueroa Hotel looks more than a little light-hearted, though, so it's hard to say where this will ultimately lead. Perhaps it will tie in with the Gwent trademark that was filed last week?
GameSpot is now on the ground in Los Angeles for E3, and we snapped the photo below of a massive poster from CD Projekt Red hung on the Figueroa Hotel. As you can see, the poster is incomplete; perhaps the rest will be revealed in the coming days.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that CD Projekt Red trademarked "Gwent: The Card Game," with the suggestion being that it could be for a standalone version for mobile devices. Gwent is the name of the popular in-game card game from The Witcher 3.
It is possible this is the game that CD Projekt Red boss Marcin Iwinski alluded to in a recent interview, where he also suggested the project could be announced at E3.
CD Projekt said previously that it would announce or possibly launch a new game in 2016. Interestingly, this would be a "new type of video game format previously unexplored by the studio." A standalone version of Gwent for mobile devices would fit that description.
