Well, since the logo of an alleged standalone game for CD Projekt Red's immensely popular card game-within-a-game leaked early last week, we can't say we're terribly surpised by this announcement. The standalone Gwent game was announced during Microsoft's E3 2016 conference.
It is slated to feature a full campaign, as well as cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows. And there's the catch; since this was announced at the Microsoft conference, there was no mention of Sony platforms. A beta was announced to be coming in September, but again only for Xbox One and Windows. We think it's pretty unlikely the game won't be launching on PS4, but for now we just don't know.
Additionally no price was announced, nor was it confirmed to be free-to-play, but the website where you can register for the beta does mention that the game supports in-game purchases. So a free-to-play model could be, erm, on the cards.
Check out the announcement trailer below, and let us know if you want to see this game on Sony platforms as much as we do.
Update: The Gwent game is in fact releasing on PS4, although it looks like the beta is going to be passing on Sony's platform.

@gbanas92 On the official website it says it will release on ps4. The beta is exclusive for pc en xbone though.
@darkswabber Huh, I raked the site looking for confirmation of that. Musta missed it! I'll update the article!
@gbanas92 "GWENT will be available at release for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4, GWENT is a free to play game that puts you, not your cards, in the center of the action."
Kind of a hard find, go to the news section.
This announcement made he hope for a similar minigame in Zelda U. WW had that sliding puzzle game, but I want something more interactive w/ other NPC. This seems a bit complicated though, I prefer simpler stuff like dominoes found in FF8 and Skylanders 2. Though I'll take anything Link wants to play w/ the usual cast of characters.
Of course what I really want is M&M:Clash of Heroes type game, really enjoyed how that worked. The board in Gwent reminded me of the layout.
@darkswabber Yep! After your comment I went and looked again (this time with a computer instead of my phone) and it was much easier to find haha. It's not super obvious at a glance though.
Looks cool didn't think cd Project red would go with this exclusivity bulls**t glad it's coming to ps4!
