The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings receives major update

CD Projekt Red has announced the launch of a new update for the acclaimed The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which adds a number of new features to the experience.

The Version 2.0 update is available now as a free downloadable patch for the PC role-playing title and delivers improved graphics and gameplay, a full selection of all previous DLC packs and several brand new features.

Among them is a tutorial mode to introduce newbies to the game's in-depth mechanics, as well as a combat-oriented Arena Mode that sees players tackling waves of progressively more difficult foes.

Meanwhile, pro players can now enjoy a new difficulty setting called Dark Mode, which includes powered-up enemies and special cursed weapons that combine formidable power with harmful side effects.

Adam Badowski, studio director for CD Projekt Red, said: 'This is a major update not only for us, but also for all those who want to start their adventure with the game and for those who would like to play it again.'

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has won great acclaim for its mature, non-linear storytelling, with Xbox 360 gamers to receive their own version of the game later this year.
