shortly after releasing it for PC, CD Projekt announced that it was working on an Xbox 360 version.<\/p>\n<p>Publisher Warner Bros has now announced that the game will be released for Xbox 360 on 17 April, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox 360 version will include an extra 3+ hours of content, including new gameplay and story elements.<\/p>\n<p>CD Projekt insists that the console version is the &#8220;most
