The Witcher may not have garnered the popularity of a Mass Effect or a Fallout but it was one of the few good European RPGs out there. With a rabid fan base fueling sales, Polish developer CD Projekt finally announced The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings last September. And now we get word via their official press release that the game will be releasing worldwide by the 17th of May 2011.

Fulfills all your special needs

And for all the collectors out there, here’s what the game’s special edition looks like:

The Vernon Roche Commando Jacket
Two Papercraft Figures + Bonus
Cursed Coin and Pamphlet
Making-of DVD
Official Soundtrack
World Map
Art Book
Geralt Sculpture
Temerian Coin
Dice Set
3 Stickers
Playing Cards and Rulebook

In case you haven't checked out the first game yet, I strongly suggest you do. It's pretty cheap on Steam (Rs. 800) and is one of the more kickass mature RPGs out there.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
