Game ch-ch-ch-changer!

GOG.com is pleased as punch to announce that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition, developed by sister company CD Projekt RED, will be coming to PC on the 17th of April! Just like when CDP RED updated the original Witcher to The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, this comes with scads of upgrades and extras for you to enjoy. The good news is that anyone who owns The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings before the 17th will receive the upgrade to the Enhanced Edition for free!

Note: This upgrade is available to everyone who has bought The Witcher 2, not just folks who bought it from GOG.com. The upgrade will be free from now until the heat death of the universe, available through the in-game launcher.

In celebration, we’re offering The Witcher 2 on sale for 15% off, starting now, for the next two weeks.

In case you didn’t hear the news from CDP RED, let’s go over what’s new and awesome about the Enhanced Edition:

[i]New major adventures set in new locations. These consist of an underground system of chambers beneath Loc Muine and a temperate coniferous forest in the Loc Muine mountains, and a secret cave passage. These new adventures will add several hours of story-based gameplay to the game.

New major characters to the Witcher story. One of them is Brigida Papebrock Dame. This noble woman comes from the Temerian family Papebrock and is a 30 year old lady-in-waiting of the Temerian court. The other characters are secret--for now!

All new animations and cut scenes, including a new, three and a half minute pre-rendered cinematic depicting the assassination of King Demavend of Aedirn. BAFTA Award winner and Academy Award nominee Tomasz Baginski brings this key historical event to life, setting the stage for the story told in The Witcher 2.[/i]

GOG.com will also be adding the Witcher comic book to our list of goodies on the 17th as a free gift to everyone who owns the Witcher 2; further, there will be a new game map, game guide, manual, and soundtrack available in your free goodies on that day as well.

The Witcher 2 is already a game that has won--in scientific notation--a gazillion awards. Come this April 17th, it’s going to get even better!

Paul_cz: It does not matter when you buy it or install it. On 17/04, every game will get an update. If you install it later, you will get it whenever you install it.

1c0n: Are you sure?

Why then "The good news is that anyone who owns The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings before the 17th will receive the upgrade to the Enhanced Edition for free! "?
To me it sounds like "after 17th you'll pay it". Let me be clear: for a CD Project game I'll buy even two copy of the same game (oh, well... I've alreday done that with the first Witcher...), I'm only asking.
I think what it means is that after the 17th, CDPR is only going to be printing "Enhanced Edition" discs and selling the "Enhanced Edition" digital version.

My post is probably a little overkill since you have already got 3 replies... but when I bought The Witcher, the EE had already been out for some time, but for some reason I bought a copy of the game without EE pre-installed. Though that wasn't a problem at all because I just had to register my game at CDPR's website to upgrade my standard copy of the game to the EE. So unless they have changed their procedure at CDPR you should be able to get EE for free no matter when you install the game.

I just wish that there wasn't a 21/2 month wait for the upgrade.
As I am not far into the game I feel that I should wait until I have the new upgrade before I continue playing .
Does anyone have any idea at which level of the game the upgrade items, missions and characters will be accessible and affect future events?
Well done CDPR, not only for such an amazing game but an awesome after sales service. Most companies would sell these upgrades as add on packages, you deserve the loyalty of your customers. Too many companies let profit override quality. Perhaps other companies will start to understand that good games, without the invasive DRM that screws up our machines but does nothing to prevent piracy, are the best marketing policy.

Not very good at this so soory about the dumb question. I have purchased The Witcher 2, but have not downloaded it.
Will this new Enhanced Edition have any impact on the Ver 2.0 and is that already included in what I purchased?
Thanks

CDP you guys are an inspiration for the rest of the gaming industry.

Or at least, I hope that you are.

I have bought The Witcher twice TW2 once. If you keep this up I will buy TW2 again as well.

You guys deserve my money ten times more than any big company out there that charges us for every little extra item or quest. I swear soon they will start charging us for alternative endings!

This is great, just like the first Witcher which made me take notice of this company.

With full mouse support, and the option of not being tethered to a keyboard, Witcher 2 may have been good. I bought it,, but it got about as much attention as a toothless woman with herpes.

Flame away, my perspective.

So that's all that was updated in the current update for TW2? I don't have/need to redownload anything else to keep my files up to date?

I have a red ''1'' update message on my account, I keep clicking it and it takes me to my game library but nothing is happening

the game that's updated isn't displayed and the notification message doesn't go away

I think you have to click the updated game for it to no longer show it, check if The Witcher 2 has the "Updated" banner, and if yes, click it.

There is a little tiny place above TW2 that says "Updated". Go to the game and expand it. The notification will go away. The notifications are nice, but they need to make it more obvious which game was updated.

And ninja'd, too.
