The acclaimed card RPG, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, has returned to iOS and Android after being removed in 2025 due to significant connectivity issues. This game, originally released in 2018 by CD Projekt, is set in the universe of The Witcher and features a storyline that follows Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia in her fight against the Nilfgaardian invasion, set before the events of the main games in the franchise.
A Year in the Shadows
Thronebreaker, which won the hearts of players with an impressive 96% positive reviews on Steam, combines strategic and narrative elements that align with the quality expected from CD Projekt, the developer of renowned titles such as The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. However, it was in 2025 when mobile device players were frustrated to see the game vanish from Google Play and the App Store due to a critical bug on Android that made it almost unplayable.
Over time and after making the necessary corrections, CD Projekt has announced the relaunch of the game on mobile platforms, although it is still noted that it may take up to 24 hours to be available in all markets. This reappearance represents an opportunity for new players to discover one of the richest and most narrative experiences in the universe of The Witcher, and for former users to resume the path of Queen Meve.
As the fan community continues to await news about The Witcher 4, the return of Thronebreaker serves as a reminder of the depth and richness of the world created by Andrzej Sapkowski and brought to life by CD Projekt. With the recent adaptation to touch screens and cross-save options with other platforms, the developers aim to provide a smoother and more accessible gaming experience for everyone.
