The Witcher 3 Card Collector Achievement Patch 1.08 Fix Will Be Retroactive
Among the many side activities included in The Witcher 3, the new role-playing game developed by CD Projekt RED now available in all regions on consoles and PC, is the Gwent card game. The game is really easy to understand and it’s incredibly engaging, so much that many have just forgotten about their quest and started challenging all Gwent players found in the game’s world.
The Gwent card game is also tied to one specific The Witcher 3 achievement, the Card Collector one, which is awarded to those who manage to collect all Gwent cards found in the main campaign. Unfortunately, some have been having issues with the achievement as it doesn’t unlock even when all cards have been found.
A few hours ago it’s been confirmed by CD Projekt RED Community manager Marcin Momot that the Card Collector achievement not only will be fixed with upcoming patch 1.08 but that the fix will be retroactive, meaning that all those who have found all cards but haven’t received the achievement will finally be able to get it without having to start their card collecting from the beginning.
Yesterday it’s been confirmed by the CDPR Community Manager that The Witcher 3’s Skellige Most Wanted quest is not going to be fixed by the upcoming patch but shortly after. The quest has been added to the game as a free DLC pack and it’s in no way required to complete the main quest.
Following the release of the new The Witcher 3 patch, the final free DLC pack for the game will finally be released on all formats. This DLC pack includes New Game Plus mode where players will be able to carry over all items except for quest items, trophies, letters, usable items and Gwent Cards, obtain a free Potion of Clearance and start the game from the level reached when completing the first playthrough if the level is above 30. The New Game Plus mode is also going to include higher level armors which are not available in the first playthrough.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
