The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings features all-new dialogue, updated graphics engine, realistic environment, revamped day/night cycle, actions that affect AI behavior, more dynamic/spectacular/bloody finishing moves and plenty more.

The second entry in the Witcher saga is characterized by an incredibly gripping, mature and non-linear plot. In addition, the new combat system is even smoother and guarantees a greater variety of tactical possibilities.

The Xbox 360 version will be an enhanced adaptation of the PC game released to instant international acclaim in mid-May. Accordingly, it will incorporate numerous improvements and enhancements. Details will be announced over the coming months.

We believe that with the marketing strength and distribution network of THQ we will be able to make the game an incredible success in Europe and around the world.”

Tim Walsh, VP of THQ Partners said, ”We are excited to work with CD Projekt RED to bring this unique role-playing game to Xbox 360 gamers.  THQ Partners’ mission is to work with world class game creators who want to bring their games to market utilizing THQ’s best-in-class global distribution channels.”
