CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games, invite gamers and media to take part in an unforgettable esports adventure that will be the upcoming GWENT Challenger. The event will take place April 28th-29th in “Wieliczka” Salt Mine, Poland.
GWENT Challenger blends high-stakes esports action with story-driven content straight from the world of The Witcher. It is a different kind of competitive spectacle — one that immerses participants and online audiences in the experience through a selection of stylish locations, visual narrative, and efforts of a world-class cast of cosplayers.
This April, GWENT Challenger will come to “Wieliczka” Salt Mine — one of the most valuable monuments of culture in Poland, featured on UNESCO’s World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The mine combines centuries of tradition and modernity — hundreds of years of history locked in an underground metropolis with extensive infrastructure. It is a product of work of generations of miners, a monument to the history of Poland and to the Polish nation.
“The change of venue for the April tournament, which was initially set to take place in the United States, continues the creative direction we established with the previous event in the series,” said Rafał Jaki, Product Director of GWENT, CD PROJEKT RED. “We want our tournaments to be as exciting to watch, as they are to compete in. To make that happen, we focus on finding the coolest places and ways to make the streaming experience as fun as possible,” Jakiadded. “Community feedback from December’s Challenger was great and we really like to raise the bar for ourselves with everything we do. If you enjoyed your trip to the Nilfgaardian stronghold of Moszna Castle, you’ll definitely love the what we have in store for you at the salt mines.”
