Product Overview

The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings is the feverishly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed and worldwide successful game 'The Witcher', released in 2007. The game is styled as a third person role playing game developed by the Polish studio CD Projekt RED for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, and has been released exclusively for the Xbox 360 console and PC. Both games in this ever growing saga are based upon the book series of the same name by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Step into the shoes of our protagonist Geralt of Rivia, one of the last remaining Witchers in the world – a professional monster slayer. Witchers are mortals who are born, bred, and raised as genetically enhanced humans trained to slay monsters and demons from a young age. Each Witcher has their own unique special powers which include an adeptness at alchemy, magic and sword handling. After King Foltest, the ruler of Temeria who you were assigned to protect, is assassinated, you are imprisoned in the Kingdom of Temeria having been mistaken for the assassin. Along with the King's former royal advisor, the sorceress Triss Merigold, you escape from the prison and set off on your quest to find the King's unruly killer.

The plot of The Witcher 2 is entirely non-linear with every decision you make, whether big or small or seemingly inconsequential, making the storyline completely derail in a whole new direction. The game-deciding choices emphasise how malleable the storyline truly is and allows you to mould and tailor the impending conclusion. Whether you're aware of it or not, possibilities are opened and closed at will due to the vast amount of options you have to peruse and pursue within the game.

This rich and expansive open world is just begging for you to explore it. Travel through the beautiful Kingdoms of Temeria, Kaedwen and Aedrin, each completely and utterly stunning, as is the game itself, due to the new REDengine. A new and intuitive original combat system has been introduced to Assassins Of Kings, perfectly blending the aspects of both tactical and strategic gameplay with the most brutal and dynamic action. Get lost in the tangled web of conspiracies, plots, and power-hungry subservients, as you attempt to unravel the incredibly captivating and immersing storyline of The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings.
