In Brief
The second instalment 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 the most lively and believable world ever created in an
RPG game. 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.
Brief Story Description
After helping to stop
the rebellion undertaken by the Order of the Flaming Rose and saving
King Foltest’s life, Geralt became one of the central figures of
political turmoil in the Kingdom of Temeria. Geralt continues to protect
the King in the monarch’s mission to bring peace to his state. The last
bastions of the Order yielded to the royal army. The only remaining
task is to pacify the rebellious castle of Baroness La Valette, who
announced separation from the Kingdom. It’s been a month since the
attempted assassination of the king, when his army arrives at the gates
of Baroness La Valette’s fortress in preparation for the final battle.
In the meantime, Geralt, stuck with Foltest, cannot begin his personal
quest - to discover the origin and identity of the mysterious
witcher-like assassin responsible for the attempt on the king’s life - a
quest that would answer many questions...

Key Features
- A
truly epic, intense, emotionally charged adventure with non-linear game
narration. Three independent plot lines with several alternative events
are dependent on the player’s choices and lead to multiple different
game endings and several additional plot forks. This time gameplay time
will be shorter than The Witcher 1, but more intense and packed with
events.
- A complex, realistic and mature story touching upon
subject matter seldom seen in other RPGs, told in a manner that is
understandable and attractive to contemporary gamers. We investigate the
assassinations of the rulers of the Northern Kingdoms and follow
Geralt’s personal theme, in which he’s looking for his own identity.
Gradually we learn how powerful forces influence our situation and what
role they order us to play.
- Rich, mature dialogue as found in
Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series and The Witcher 1, presented in highly
filmic cutscenes and dialogues sequences, thanks to a new game engine.
- New,
improved system of flashbacks. Now the reminiscences of Geralt, in
which we observe the link between our past choices with current actions,
are realistically and smoothly woven into the gameplay.
- Sex
and eroticism will be introduced in a much more realistic, involving and
mature way, thanks to which sexual relationships are presented more
credibly than in TW1.
- Unique, deep, consistent and rich game
world established in a series of best-selling books by A. Sapkowski and
recreated in the game to provide an incredible, believable story-driven
experience.
- Believable, true-to-life characters with their own
motivations and goals. During our journey we meet ordinary men,
soldiers, rebels, powerful mages, rulers and their assassins. Depending
on our decisions we meet different game characters, and our
relationships shape further actions in the game.
- Highly varied, breathtaking locations, which thanks to the new engine create a cohesive, fully accessible world!
- Rich,
living world in which every character has their own way of life and
unique occupations. Our actions modify the relationship with the
game-world population and, in the case of the main plot line, open or
close the possibilities of interaction with the game world.
- Greater
freedom of exploration to provide increased game realism and a wider
range of new tactical options. Geralt will surmount barriers, jump over
fences, scale walls and ascend rock formations.
