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!
Even though I pre-ordered the game off this site, I never came around to finish it, not because I lacked time or motivation, but because I was waiting for the complete experience. With this announcement, it's time to finish what I started, beginning to end.

Thanks for industry setting post support guys. :D
Very nice. This will give me the motivation to finally get around to doing the second playthrough that I keep telling myself I need to do.
Will the enhanced edition use the new updated control scheme for the 360 pad? It seems a lot of news sites are commenting how well the controls are optimized for the 360 version. I think it would be great if you included that as feature if you have not already.

Watashiwa: Okay, I'll admit this is entirely unexpected, utterly amazing news. I just finished the game two weeks ago, and now I'm being told that there's still more in the pipes?! Curse you CDP, for being so amazing!


One request: please, please please have an actual ending sequence. Walking out of Loc Muine after gutting Letho is in no way a satisfying conclusion (except for killing the Kingslayer).
wtf r u spoiling the ending?
King Demavend must have a really tight crown.

Malteser: I bought the Witcher 2 on Steam last year when it came out, will I also recieve the enhanced edition update free as well?
"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!"

That mean, yes you can!
I will buy this game - AGAIN, once the Enhanced Edition comes out.
tihs is the most epic game I plyaed in my life and CDP are the best devs :)
can't wait why make us wait for 3 more months!!!
Awesome!

Send my regards to all the team!
:heart: GOG! Can't ask for a better service from a gaming publisher.
Wow! You guys never cease to amaze me. I'm very happy to have paid full price for this game, and support such a great company.

Could I make one, very tiny suggestion for the game? Since you're working on it again? Just one?

Could you maybe possibly get rid of the quick-time boxing matches, and add real-time fist fighting? Like The Witcher 1? It'd be so much more fun.

That's all I need. The rest of the game is gold. Thanks for being awesome to us.
This is fantastic! Thank you very much, CD Projekt, for your great service!

The comic you mentioned, is it for The Witcher 2 or the original?
