It was released in october 2007, it has sold more than 800,000 copies worldwide it won more than 90 prestigous awards. And you know what? It was not an ordinary game. It was an RPG redefinition. It was The Witcher.

But why am I telling you that, probably once again? Cause I want to remind you what "close to perfection" game we just... Enhanced!

If you want to know how it all happened:

Shortly after the release of The Witcher, some of the greatest minds in the universe (the developers at CD Projekt RED, of course!) got together and collected tons of feedback from fans and media about the game. They used that feedback to craft a huge list of things they felt they could improve to make The Witcher even better. New inventory, voice-overs, models, adventures, gestures, animations, languages, alchemy and sex cards, as well as improved stability, reduced loading times, and many more enhancements have found their way into the game… frankly, we can’t remember all of the changes. Blame it on the Polish vodka, long work hours, or whatever.

What’s more, we’ve prepared what we think is the richest “standard” edition in the history of games! This is the list of "The single-player RPG greatness" Enhanced Edition box content:

Game Box

• Brand new box designed and prepared especially for the Enhanced Edition. Trust me, it will look great on a shelf of every game collector.

And if you haven’t played The Witcher yet, keep it quiet! There’s nobody less cool than someone who didn’t buy last year’s PC RPG of the Year. Just head over to the closest store and pre-order it if you can. Buy a copy for your mother, brother, grandpa, aunt, lover and even for that old lady that lives next door! They will love you for it.
