GOG.com<\/a>, an online digital distributor renowned for its selection of DRM-free titles, has put The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut up for sale. They are also offering pre-download of 95% of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Digital Premium Edition for those who purchase the game.<\/p>\n

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut is available until May 24th with a 50% discount of US$4.99 (±R). The Witcher is an action-RPG based on books by Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski, where the player takes the role of Geralt – a powerful monster slayer. GOG.com’s version of the game comes with additional content including: game guide; soundtracks; artbook; and a 2011-2012 calendar featuring the sexiest women from the game.<\/p>\n

GOG.com has begun accepting pre-payments for the second part of Geralt’s adventures, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Digital Premium Edition. Those who have already pre-ordered the game on GOG.com can now finalize their purchase and pre-download 95% of the game.<\/p>\n

This means that when the game is released on 17 May 2011, gamers will be 5% of a download away from jumping into the RPG action. As the game is DRM-free via GOG.com, there’s no need to activate the game.<\/p>\n

All future patches for The Witcher 2 will be distributed via the launcher which requires one-time registration. GOG.com will be offering an updated master build of the game in several months for users who do not care to register their copy.<\/p>\n
