So what are some of the new features we will see in Version 2.0? With CD Projekt Red's approach to DRM and DLC, gamers will appreciate not having to purchase costly DLC or worry about having a constant internet connection in order to play the The Witcher 2. You just need to treat you customers fair, and you get not only financial results, but fans' admiration, which for us is absolutely priceless!” You don’t need draconian DRM to have good sales and you don’t need costly DLC to have good financial results. Version 2.0 is one of the steps to fulfill our promise.Around 1 million units sold worldwide and solid financial results are the best proof that that we have the right approach. We promised to support our game after release and also bring new content for free.

“We quite modestly called this new update 2.0, but while testing it, we have realized that this update is actually bigger than Enhanced Edition known from our first game! So this is a major update not only for us, but also for all those who want to start their adventure with the game and for those who would like to play it again. Version 2.0 looks to take a bigger jump with over 40 new technical and gameplay enhancements and will be available via automatic update to all existing and new users for free on September 29, 2011.Īdam Badowski, Studio Director of CD Projekt Red, had this to say about the update:

Applying the same efforts to the sequel, CD Projekt Red has announced its post-release plans for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ( review), which it has dubbed Version 2.0.Earlier this year, CD Projekt Red released a patch that resolved some gameplay and framerate issues, and also included free DLC. Rather than moving onto its next project, CD Projekt Red developed The Witcher Enhanced Edition, which fixed all of these issues and added new animations and two new missions among other improvements.

The Witcher, which was generally well received by critics, had some disappointing load times, a clumsy inventory system, and some mistranslations from the original Polish script. CD Projekt Red has a track record of supporting its products well after release.
