<p>Although closed beta registration for <a href="http://ift.tt/2oe7l3L">Gwent: The Witcher Card Game</a> ended last weekend, you won&#8217;t have to wait long to try out the collectible card game: CD Projekt Red has announced that an open beta will begin on <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUsZbd">PS4</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nKlIbK">PC</a> on May 24.</p>
<p>As part of the transition from the closed technical test to the open beta, the developer is resetting all progress made. So if you&#8217;re currently playing in the closed beta, you&#8217;ll have to start fresh on May 24. However, you will get Card Kegs and other in-game items as a reward for playing through the tech test.</p>
<p>From May 22-24, Gwent&#8217;s servers will be offline for maintenance. After that, all players will be transitioned into the open beta.</p>
<p>&quot;[The] public beta is the next step in the game&#8217;s development process, one that we&#8217;d be honored to continue alongside everyone who&#8217;s been with us thus far.&quot; development director Benjamin Lee stated in a press release. &quot;It&#8217;s also a chance for many new gamers to play Gwent for the first time, and we&#8217;re looking forward to making the game even better with their help.&quot;</p>
<p>Gwent is a standalone version of the in-game collectible card game in <a href="http://ift.tt/2mAazhu">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</a>. It includes more cards, better graphics and animations, and an open-world map to explore. You can read <a href="http://ift.tt/2oe4PdG">our E3 2016 preview of the game here</a> and see <a href="http://ift.tt/2qZi96I">some tips and tricks here</a>. A specific release date has yet to be announced.</p>
