The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is the second installment in the role-playing saga of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer. It tells a mature, thought-provoking story set against a time of upheaval, as hidden forces wrestle for power, the Northern Kingdoms mobilize for war, and a bloody conspiracy threatens to undo everything.

The narrative is non-linear and consequential, offering over 40 hours of story-driven play with four possible openings and sixteen distinct endings, where each decision can carry heavy results. Combat blends fast action with developed RPG systems, drawing on witcher weapons for both melee and ranged attacks plus tactical preparation such as brewing potions, laying traps and baits, casting magic and slipping past foes unseen. The world is built with CD PROJEKT RED's own REDengine and brought to life through varied locations, from trading posts and mining towns to castles and fortresses.

The Enhanced Edition adds several hours of new gameplay set in previously unseen places, fresh characters and monsters, and reworked cinematics including a pre-rendered intro directed by Tomasz Baginski. It also folds in everything from the 2.0 update, among them the wave-based Arena Mode, an expanded tutorial and the punishing Dark Mode for hardcore players.
