The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is free to grab for PC now, and this is a wonderful time to dive into the start of CD Projekt Red's adaptations, as the original game is getting a remake.
The Enhanced Edition packs a proper punch, featuring significant NPC improvements, expanded and corrected translations, new animations, shortened load times, overhauled inventory system, and two new side-quests Side Effects and The Price of Neutrality. For the superfans, it also offers a "making of" documentary with interviews from members of the development team and from Atari. In short, you'd be an utter silly billy not to pick this up for the low, low price of nothing.
Check out the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, starring Sophia Brown, Michelle Yeoh, Minnie Driver, Laurence O'Fuarain and more, below!

Here's how. Head over to GOG, the digital storefront for games that is coincidentally owned by CD Projekt, and sign up for the website's newsletter. This will give you the ability to claim The Witcher: Enhanced Edition as long as you download Gwent first. The collectible card game is highly praised, so it's well worth a whirl, and CD Projekt is offering up a Gwent Card Keg for free as well as the Enhanced Edition as part of this promotion. Not a half bad haul if you ask us.
Of course, the newest version of the game is going to look very different to the one we know. The remake of The Witcher will be running in Unreal Engine 5 in compliance with the developer's partnership with Epic Games. "The game is currently in the early stages of development at the Polish studio Fool’s Theory, where veteran Witcher series staff are involved. We, as CD Projekt Red, are providing full creative supervision," announced the company in the bulletin from yesterday.
