Although we're a bit late with the news, we'll post it anyway since it's of interest for RPG fans. CD Projekt are wrapping up an enhanced edition of their highly-praised The Witcher, due to debut in May.

After boasting with more than 600,000 copies sold for their revolutionary and PC-exclusive RPG, CD Projekt are launching a new fashion: the... re-launching of a game. Michal Kicinski, CD Projekt CEO, had announced a couple of weeks ago that The Witcher Enhanced Edition will (hopefully...) lack the defects and the bugs that have plagued the initial release (especially the long loading times) and has also offered an explanation as to why these plagues have crawled into the game's code: they didn't have time to completely eliminate them... Now how many times have we heard this before? Erm, like... ALL the time?...

Anyway, here's the list of improvements we should expect this spring:

loading times 80% lower than in the standard versionincreased stability on different PC configurationsincreased precision and interactivity during fightscomplete or partial modifications operated for the versions in different languages, especially the German and the English ones, where a re-recording of all in-game voices is plannedover 50 new characters added to the plot, so that the player does not stumble upon the same faces over and over againdialogue scenes will have more than 100 facial animations and natural gestures, for both Gerald and the NPCsthe Enhanced Edition will contain the game DVD, and second DVD with a D'jinii Mod Editor and a map of the game, a 180 pages booklet where the game instructions are imprinted, a CD with the 29 soundtracks of the game plus 15 soundtracks inspired by the game, another 112 pages booklet serving as official guide and also featuring The Witcher's developers and finally a short history inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski, whose chef-d'oeuvre sits at the basis of CD Projekt's RPGtwo new levels: first, dubbed "The Price of Neutrality," has 3 new quests and depicts Gerald's return at Kaer Morhen, where he finds a mysterious camp next to his stronghold; the second, comprised of 5 new quests, is focused on Gerald's relationship with his friend Dandelion and on his troubles with the city of Vizima. As mentioned earlier, the Enhanced Edition is scheduled to debut on the 16 of May, but only in Eastern Europe for now, CD Projekt hoping to sign agreements with Western publishers shortly afterwards.
