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.<\/p>\n

The game is built upon completely new technology, designed from scratch by CD Projekt RED to develop role-playing games with non-linear plot. The new technology also delivers beautiful visuals, transporting players to one of the most vivid RPG universes ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really glad to officially present what we\u2019ve been working on for over two years,\u201d said Adam Kici\u00f1ski, CEO of CD Projekt RED. \u201cWe learned a lot during The Witcher\u2019s <\/em>development process, and are using that knowledge to ensure the sequel is one of the best RPGs people have ever played.\u00a0 By improving upon the successful parts of the original and adding new elements we believe that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings <\/em><\/strong>will be loved by fans of the original and newcomers alike.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow the game will be presented publicly for the first time, during the CD Projekt Spring 2010 conference. The event will be transmitted on www.cdprojekt.pl\/konferencje.
