Synopsis

The second chapter in the fantasy role playing series sees players take the role of Geralt, a professional slayer who must face a group of assassins killing rulers across the Northern Kingdoms.

The original Witcher captured a dark and mature fantasy world for players to roam as they protected the world from turmoil and ultimately saved its kingdom’s ruler. The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings continues this story, now seeing Geralt hunt down a group of assassins attacking the leaders of the kingdom. Three independent storylines allow players to make their own decisions, altering the direction of each story, and tackle each mission as they see fit.

Visually, The Witcher 2 has taken huge strides over its predecessor, offering a rich and detailed world for players to explore, alongside improved characters models and greater exploration. Combat has also been improved, now allowing players to make tactical decisions during combat and unleashed brutal attacks.

The Witcher 2 greatly improves upon the solid foundations laid down by the original fantasy title, offering players a richer storyline, improved visuals and tweaked combat gameplay.
