Repeat 10 times fast: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition announced

By , Chief biscuit dunker

The first Witcher received one, so why not allow the enormously successful sequel a piece of the action, too? According to GOG, The Witcher 2 is set to receive its very own super ultra edition in the guise of the almost-tongue-twisting The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition, a free update for current owners of the game and for those of you whom pick it up before the appointed hour of the Enhanced Edition’s launch.

The additional two extra words being slapped onto the game’s already-lengthy title won’t just be there just for show, thankfully. The Enhanced Edition version of the game, which will serve as more of an update than anything else, is due out on April 17th and will include a few bonuses which would put most modern expansion packs to shame. Included below is a word-for-word overview of exactly what you can expect from your potentially free update:

“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.”

Oh, and lest we forget, The Witcher 2 is currently enjoying a 15% off deal period over at GOG right now. Off you go, then.
