Do you dare stand alone among mighty forces?

CDProjekt Red's critically acclaimed RPG The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was confirmed to be coming to Xbox 360 back in June, with Atari replacing Namco Bandai as the publisher for the adaptation to console. Few details have been released bar the assurance that this will not simply be a port, but will be fully adapted for the new hardware. With that in mind, here is an overview of the game's premise:

A time of untold chaos has come. Mighty forces clash behind the scenes in a struggle for power and influence. Northern Kingdoms mobilize their armies and prepare for war. But armies on the march are not enough to stop a bloody conspiracy. Someone is hunting crowned heads.

Every assassination attempt intensifies the chaos, and might truly does make right these days. Cruelty and violence have become daily fare... Do you dare stand alone among the mighty forces that are fighting for power over the Northern Kingdoms? Do you truly dare?
Players assume the role of Geralt of Rivia, one of the last remaining witchers. Geralt has been charged with protecting the King Foltest, ruler of Temeria, as he attempts to bring peace to the state and crush the political turmoil that thrives now. All that remains now is to pacify the rebellious castle of Baroness La Valette. But will Geralt be able to fulfil his own personal quest, and discover the origin and identity of the mysterious witcher-like assassin?

After a delay caused by legal issues over distribution, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is now due to be released in Q1 2012.

I'm playing it on the PC at the moment. It looks stunning, and it's playing really well even though I've only done the prologue so far. Would probably buy it in the 360 too.

Looks awesome! Need to be the first one before I play it thought and to do that I need a new PC. My old one crashed as I was playing it and had too many other expenses that come before buying a new PC. Getting close though..
I aim to misbehave!

I recently finished The Witcher for the first time and I thought it was great. My laptop isn't powerful enough to play 2 so I am waiting for the 360 version.

From what I heard it's supposed to be uncensored also.

I hadn't been paying much attention to this title until watching the trailer. This looks like it has potential. I will be keeping an eye on this.

I have to buy it to support CDP Red. From what I've heard developers already lost several milions euro they suppose to obtain from Namco so far. If they lost trial it's gonna cost more. And still you can expect free "DLCs" from these guys. Amazing
