On April 17 Xbox 360 gamers get their first taste of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, the first console instalment of the popular PC role-playing game series. Did they miss anything in the first game? Not if they watch this video they didn’t.
“We believe that games we make deserve support,” says Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Senior Quest Designer at CD Projekt. “You couldn’t call the extra stuff being added an expansion pack. We are trying to be fair and honest with our customers. We believe that the things we have added, customers should get it for free, because they have already paid for the product.”
If it wasn’t already obvious, it should now crystal clear: CD Projekt isn’t like other developers.
CD Projekt RED has confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will be getting more ‘action’ in the game’s Xbox 360 release.
Earlier this year Polish developer CD Projekt Red got into a legal scuffle with Namco Bandai over the distribution rights to the Xbox 360 port of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Now a French court has made it quite clear: THQ is out, and Namco Bandai is in.
PC gamers that didn’t enjoy The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings as much as I did should check back in on Thursday, when the massive 2.0 update adds a full tutorial, arena combat, the insanely difficult dark mode, and much, much more. Wanna see a full list?
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Version 2.0 will be a free patch that gives PC gamers a new tutorial system, a survival arena mode, a difficulty-increasing dark mode, oodles of patches and all of the previously released download packs.
Patch 1.3 for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is live, delivering extended aspect ratio support, 3D Vision support fixes, item storage, cutscene flashbacks and more, topped off with “A Sackful of Fluff”, a lovely bit of free downloadable content.
CD Projekt has released update 1.2 for The Witcher 2 on the PC, featuring more than 30 significant changes and fixes to the game, including the ability for Geralt to swap between six different looks via in-game barber shops.
We knew The Witcher 2 is out on the PC. Heck, even President Obama knew that. But did you know that the game is headed to the Xbox 360? You do now. No word on a PS3 version.
