GN Version 5.0

Thronebreaker is a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with unique puzzles and card battle mechanics.

Crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game spins a truly regal tale of Meve, a war-veteran and queen of two Northern Realms — Lyria and Rivia. Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge.

While not officially announced, it looks like Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is making its way to Switch. This information comes from GRAC, the South Korean video game classification agency, who rated the game for Switch release in Nov. 2019. The title is listed as being published by Bandai Namco, so we'll have to keep tabs on upcoming announcements from them and CD Projekt Red before we can consider this 100% official.
