I want to invite all new Witcher fans to thewitcher.com – we’ve proven several times that fan feedback is important, so tell us what you think of our game.”

The Enhanced Edition adds approximately four hours of additional quests to the critically-acclaimed RPG and makes the intense story even more intriguing with 35 minutes of new cut-scenes and cinematics. The Xbox 360 edition offers mechanical enhancements including an intelligent camera system and a new target locking system. Both the Xbox 360 and Windows PC versions feature all the previously released DLC and upgrades, including the arcade arena mode and a separate tutorial system.
