The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
is an upcoming role-playing video game and a sequel to The Witcher,
developed by Polish studio CD Projekt RED for Microsoft Windows. While
the game is being published by CD Projekt itself in Central Europe and
Digital Distribution sites, distribution in North America will be
handled by Atari. Publisher for West Europe will be NAMCO BANDAI. The
second installment in the RPG saga about the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia,
features a thoroughly engrossing, mature storyline defining new
standards for thought-provoking, non-linear game narration. In addition
to an epic story, the game features an original, brutal combat system
that uniquely combines tactical elements with dynamic action. A new,
modern game engine, responsible both for beautiful visuals and
sophisticated game mechanics puts players in this lively and believable
world. A captivating story, dynamic combat system, beautiful graphics,
and everything else that made the original Witcher such a great game are
now executed in a much more advanced and sophisticated way.
Before Assassins of Kings was officially announced, a video showing the game was leaked on 16 September 2009. On September 18, 2009, CD Projekt RED officially confirmed that the game is in development for PC and will be named The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.For the sequel, CD Projekt had developed their own engine this time, unlike the first installment, which used a modified version of Bioware’s Aurora Engine. Until now, only select areas of the game have been shown using the engine with the developers highlighting the various improvements they have made. Along with the engine, the developers have changed the combat system. Although these changes have not yet been publicly displayed, various gaming sites like IGN have reported that the combat is no longer like it was in the first game, which used a timed mouse-based system. It’s also been said that the game will use Havok physics engine.On March 25, 2010, the first gameplay video was shown to audiences. This gameplay footage showed the various methods that a player could use to complete the level. The demo at GamesCom 2010 also showed many different levels and characters for the first time.

On April 14th, 2011, at the CD Projekt Red 2011 Spring Conference it was announced that retail copies of the game will feature SecuRom DRM. However, the protection will still allow for unlimited installations on an unlimited number of computers, with ability to play on up to five computers at once. It was also announced that the game will feature no censorship or gameplay differences across the global regions.
