Confirmed: The Witcher 2 Coming to Xbox 360


The Witcher 2 is an RPG released approximately two weeks ago for the PC. You play as Geralt of Rivia, one of the last remaining Witchers in the world; Witchers are people who have been trained since birth to fight monsters. While there had been much speculation that a console version of the game was being developed as the same time as its PC brethren, these rumors looked to be false when no announcement was made prior to launch. Today, however, all that changed when CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, announced that they have been, in fact, developing The Witcher 2 for consoles as well, and the game will be demonstrated live at E3 2011 next week.

The PC release for The Witcher 2 is a critic's darling, earning an average score of 89 on Metacritic after 49 reviews (that's VERY good). This is a franchise I have been interested in ever since the first game came out, but, given that I have a laptop, I was not able to handle the game and was forced to wait for a console release - I'm glad one is finally coming!

I've included some gameplay and an official trailer to give you readers an idea of what to expect from this action RPG franchise:
