The Witcher Gets an Enhanced Edition Director's Cut

CD Projekt RED, the developers of The Witcher, one of the best role playing games of last year, have been keeping busy making sure that fans of their game got more play time out of it. After a few first patches, they released The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, which was free to all players who bought the original, updating and fixing nearly all the problems of the first release while also adding a few things here and there.

Other patches followed, adding community content and fixes and now CD Projekt is announcing that it will launch something called The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut, which is basically the definitive, final form of the game. The developers are stating that it will be delivered via digital distribution, free for those who have already gotten the game. Steam, Impulse and Direct2Drive, who are now selling the Enhanced Edition, will be offering the Director's Cut.

The new release contains the complete patch 1.5 and some fresh content. The patch has removed all DRM from the game, so there's no more need for the disk to be in the drive. Remaining graphical and audio bugs have also been eliminated while five new adventures, all of them created by the community of gamers around The Witcher, are added.

The role playing game was already pretty expansive, which means that there's even more side quests, which can be tackled by the pale hero of the title. With The Witcher sporting a powerful level editor, called D'jinnin, players can also get a variety of extra content from the various fans communities.

The Director's Cut also adds the M-rated content to the North American edition of the game, where some things were initially censored. Players should be ready for some more violence and options when dealing with the beautiful ladies that inhabit the game world.
