The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings features a thoroughly engrossing, mature storyline that defines a new standard for realistic, non-linear game narration. In addition to an epic story, the game features a complex combat system that uniquely combines deep tactical elements with dynamic action.
The new, ultra-modern engine provides both beautiful visuals and sophisticated in-game mechanics, putting players in a world more alive and believable than any ever created in a video game.
The depth of the gameplay and the mature, non-linear storyline make The Witcher 2 one of the most complex RPGs ever released on consoles.
Development Philosophy
Absolutely no compromises for the console release. The Witcher 2 X360 is full game adaptation to the new platform. It will immerse players in the same, mature, deep gameplay experience, but now perfectly adapted for the new hardware. The same complex storyline, non-linearity, spectacular and tactical combat system, living interactive world and many other features will all be fully implemented on the Xbox 360.
Thanks to CD Projekt RED’s advanced, proprietary REDengine technology, The Witcher 2 X360 will present some of the most cutting edge graphics ever created for an Xbox 360 game. In addition, the team is taking the time needed to prepare a proper adaptation. As a result, players can expect meaningful improvements and enhancements. Information about the changes, including the role of illustrious Polish CGI creator and Oscar nominee Tomasz Baginski, will be revealed later this year.
Story Background
A time of untold chaos has come. Mighty forces clash behind the scenes in a struggle for power and influence. The Northern Kingdoms mobilize and prepare for war. But armies on the march are not enough to stop a bloody conspiracy. Someone is hunting crowned heads. Every assassination attempt intensifies the chaos, and might truly does make right these days.
Cruelty and violence have become daily fare…
After helping to stop the rebellion undertaken by the Order of the Flaming Rose and saving King Foltest’s life, Geralt became one of the central figures amid the political turmoil in the Kingdom of Temeria. He continues to protect the King, serving as his personal bodyguard on his mission to bring peace to his state. The last bastions of the Order have yielded to the royal army. The only remaining
task is to pacify the castle of the rebellious Baroness La Valette, who has announced her secession from the realm.
A month after the attempted assassination of the King, his army stands at the gates of her fortress, prepared for the final battle.
In the meantime, Geralt, stuck with Foltest, cannot begin his personal quest - to discover the origin and identity of the mysterious
witcher-like assassin…
MAIN FEATURES
Quite possibly the most immersive, mature, non-linear story ever on consoles!
A complex, expansive adventure in which every decision may lead to dire consequences. An intense, emotionally charged, non-linear story for mature players, offering over 40 hours of gameplay, four possible beginnings, and 16 different paths and story conclusions. Make choices that really matter. Your decisions impact relations with other characters and entire communities, and may even influence the political situation in the Northern Kingdoms.
Spectacular, dynamic and tactical combat system
The combat system fuses spectacular, dynamic battles with well-developed RPG mechanics and abundant tactical options including advanced monster-fighting techniques. Combine real-time interactive moves like parry, dodge and riposte with a wide range of character specializations. Choose from diverse options and elements beyond swords, such as ranged weapons (daggers and bombs), traps and bait, magical signs, and the ability to sneak and launch non-lethal attacks at your foes.
Realistic, vast game world
The exceptionally realistic, expansive game world teems with life. Explore numerous highly varied locations, including the mighty La Valette Castle, the bustling dwarven mining town of Vergen, multiple border garrisons and fortresses, ancient forests, and the vibrant trading post and river port of Flotsam. Welcome in the real, living and breathing environment that is far more than just a static set of background props.
