The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut, the highly acclaimed RPG by CD Projekt RED, will come to GOG’s storefront with tons of exclusive free goodies on May 10th for a regular price of $9.99--but we're offering a special discount in commemoration of The Witcher 2 coming to GOG.com. The game will be available at a 50% discount from May 10 until May 24, and will cost only $4.99!

The Witcher is an action RPG based on books by popular Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. The player takes the role of Geralt of Rivia, the witcher (a professional monster slayer). GOG's version of the game is the most complete and comes with loads of free goodies including: game guide, soundtrack, music inspired by the game, The Witcher story, The Witcher "sexy" calendar, artbook and more!

Speaking of The Witcher franchise, starting from 10th of May all GOG.com users who want to buy the highly anticipated sequel to Geralt’s adventures, will have the opportunity to pre-purchase the game and pre-download almost all of it, so on May 17 when the game is released, they can play it almost instantly! Thanks to the brand new GOG.com downloader the pre-download will go fast and easy.

Pro Tip: The Witcher 2 preorder offer on GOG.com ends on the 16th of May at 5:59 p.m. EDT, so anyone who wants to take advantage of the incredible preorder offer should make a point to visit the pre-order page before then and snag their copy of the game. Also note that if you’ve preordered The Witcher 2 from GOG.com, you will have until the end of May to purchase the game and receive all of the preorder goodies, so don’t forget!
I own it on Amazon, but I might as well get this version.
Awsome. I was actually considering buying The Witcher from Amazon, earlier this week. Now I know what to do.

Falci: Hey... I don't want to sound lame, but can't you guys just add the witcher to my GOG account based on the fact that I already own a retail copy that is registered to the same email through the witcher site? You ARE sister companies after all...

I'd love to have it on my gog.com account, but I already own a retail copy. Makes little sense to buy again.

And I AM buying the second game when it comes out from you guys too.
$5 buys you more extras, current and future compatibility, and the convenience of a digital download.

Waltorious: Is there any reason to believe that the GOG version of the Enhanced Edition will cut those languages out? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.
As it was pointed out by Isriddari, only English is listed on the game page. Also, you can try checking the file size of Enhanced Edition with all languages. It's not 9gb, listed on the game page
Since it's $5 I might get it for the art book and for ease of installation. Not exactly exciting news still, but it's moderately pleasing.

The TW2 GOG deal is so good I am really fighting my inner box-collecting impulses.
I must say, I am kind of unsatisfied. I expected the announcement of a new big publisher and some titles but still no concrete news about it! I will wait but now much more cautionsly and less excited. GOG obviously wants to transmit information in the smallest possible unit: bit by bit - but I am not interested in such games. Apart from that, keep going the good work.

POLE7645: Well, they stated that it was the Enhanced Edition which corrected the translation to the point it was very good. Even the voice acting was redone (and it was excellent in my opinion).
avatar
KainKlarden: Hm, if it was redone, it might be better. Still i see no point in getting GoG version over the Steam one, if you go with a digital release. I mean, it is, in a way, a cut-down version if it doesn't have all the languages.
Maybe there would be a way to install them from the 1.4 patch though... But that's too much hassle
Despite not having the extra languages, I too enjoyed the english translation of Witcher Enhanced ed.
I really, really hope will be able to choose different languages in The Witcher on GOG. As Pole I read Spkowski's books and enjoyed them all, especially stories about the WItcher. So I can't imagine playing game in any other language.
Listening to Yarpen Zigrin (or any other dwarf) swearing in other language than Polish, would be blasphemy :-)
I already own The Witcher, but this doesn't seem like a bad deal, even if it is more of CD Projekt pimping their own stuff instead of an actual good old game (it's a good game, but it's not old by any stretch of the imagination)

sear: Any chance that owners of the original can register their copy to receive a download version? :p

OmegaX: It'd be good if they did this. I've already bought this game twice, the first time from Atari store and the second from D2D so I'm hesitant to buy it again. If they promised a patch to fix 16:10 resolutions I'd be more interested.
I actually bought the game five different times. I have never done that for a different game.
Any chance we could register our retail/Steam/D2D The Witcher cd-key so that we get access to GOG's version?

Edit: just saw that some other users already asked the same question. +1 to the suggestion!

RafaelLopez: I'm sure I read "11 languages" somewhere on the conference minutes ago. I was pretty sure it was about the Witcher 1. I'm confused now. Me, I'd like to see about the translations too.

SLP2000: I thought it's TW2 with 11 languages.
The Witcher 1 will be available with 11 languages. EFIGS + Polish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and, um, Hungarian?

Nice to know, I'm glad I was wrong.

That's only 10. :P

But great to know! Now, all that needs to be done to make me completely happy, is adding different languages to all the other games in the catalogue.
