CD Projekt RED has announced what to expect from “version 2.0” of The Witcher 2, which will not only be updated on PC, but it’s what the Xbox 360 version will use too.
The update, which will be coming in Q1 2012, will mainly focus on three major areas:
* New introductory tutorials, to guide the player through the game’s extensive RPG system, combat mechanics, alchemy, and magic.
-
A new “dark” difficulty mode for hardcore players who want a challenge beyond anything the game has had to offer so far. In addition to the ramped up difficulty, the new mode will reward players with new “dark” items and all new quests.
-
Arena Mode—in which Geralt must battle endless waves of monsters. This challenge mode will be integrated with the game’s online forums and Facebook.
Version 2.0 will also have 40 planned bug fixes, and 9 new DLC missions. If that weren’t enough, the patch will contain dozens of new lines of dialogue, new music, character models, locations, and more.
