– Along with a volley of video goodness to further entice the world’s RPG fans –

Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 18th May 2011 – Namco Bandai Partners S.A.S. and CD Projekt RED are proud to announce that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has arrived at retail. The content-rich Premium Edition can now be found on store shelves around the world.

To make The Witcher 2 even more enjoyable, CD Projekt RED is introducing “DLC 4 FREE”, a program of no-charge downloadable content packs for registered users. The first one, which adds a side quest called “Troll Trouble”, is already accessible. The next free DLC can be expected later this month, and a third in June, with more to follow.

To further whet the appetites of fans around the world, five original videos have been unveiled. Three new trailers comprise a set highlighting the extensive range of emotions players will experience. Entitled “Hope”, “Disdain & Fear” and “Love & Blood”, each does so in a distinctive way by creating a unique musical mood and presenting a different selection of situations and scenes. They were produced in collaboration with videographer Marcin Nowak and BX Studio.

Another video adds a touch of humour while posing a question many of the central character’s adversaries will ask themselves, but fail to answer – how to kill a witcher. The last but not least centers on the uneasy environment in the Northern Kingdoms, the overarching situation that provides the backdrop for The Witcher 2’s compelling story.
