A recently leaked video showcasing the follow up to the critically acclaimed RPG The Witcher is making the rounds this morning, despite clearly reading “WARNING – THIS VIDEO IS CONFIDENTIAL – INTERNAL USE ONLY”. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well…
Anyway, the five minute internal vid for the game, apparently sub-titled “Assassins of Kings”, showcases a behind-the-scenes look at the dev studio while showcasing plenty of footage from the alpha version of the game itself, which is described as an “robust, pure blooded RPG with an extremely modern next-gen look and feel.” In other words, it’s SWEET!
Developer CD Projekt RED has issued an official statement on the video, which goes a little something like this:
“Of course, we can’t and won’t try to deny the facts. The movie that appeared on the various sites yesterday presents our newest project, The Witcher 2, which we’ve been working on for some time. We made something about half year ago, to present the first playable version of the game.” said Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD Projekt RED. “Currently we are looking for a potential publisher (or publishers) for this title, and this leak is an uncontrolled side effect of that process. For today, we are not commenting on anything that concerns the game itself.”
More information about The Witcher 2 will be unveiled alongside the official announcement.
So, there ya go…Stay tuned for more details and somebody out there in publisher land….PICK THIS THING UP!!!!









This is the best sequel announced in awhile if you ask me. The Witcher is my favorite RPG this gen, even passing up Mass Effect(only slightly ;]). I hope they find a publisher that will treat this game right.
If it comes out next year I will flip. ME2 and Wicthcer 2 in one year on top of FF13 = RPG nirvana!
now they just need to release the enhances version of the first for console
Awwww damn it, now I guess I really do have to go and pick up the enhanced PC version. I’m guessing this is why the stopped development on the console version. I was holding out hoping it came to there, but my rig has been upgraded since I heard about Aion and Dragon Age anyway so I guess there’s nothing really stopping me now.
Thanks Axe Wielder, this is good news.
I really hope they find a publisher for this game it would be a shame if it wouldn’t came out.
This is awesome news. Don’t worry about upgrading, I’m sure it won’t be out earlier than December 2010.
these games will never make it to consoles. they know i would buy it.
