The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is an upcoming sequel to The Witcher, developed by CD Projekt RED. Like the original game, it is set after the events of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series of novels on which the games are based.

Annonces

Witcher2TrailerScreen3

A video showing Assassins of Kings was leaked on 16 September 2009, before the game was officially announced. According to CD Projekt, the video was intended for potential publishers, and had been created about six months before it was leaked. It was made using a "very early alpha version" of the game, and voices were provided by CD Projekt staff members rather than the final actors. CD Projekt published a short FAQ in response to the leak, but said that apart from that, they did "not plan any materials to be released soon". The game itself was said to be "still deeply in the development stage", and people should "not expect the game too soon".

The game was announced officially on 24 March 2010, with a number of articles and videos appearing. A two-minute trailer was released on GameTrailers, and articles (with accompanying video and screenshots) have been released in English, Polish, and Russian.

The official CDPR forum was launched on March 23, 2010 along with the official trailer. An official website followed in April.

Platformes

The platforms to which the game will be released have not been confirmed yet. CD Projekt's FAQ says that the PC was a "certain choice", but that they are also interested in a console version. It is rumored that it will come out not only for the PC, but for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well.

Gameplay

Assassin?

According to previews:

  • The game features timed conversations, with a default response being used if players do not choose an option within a certain length of time. Players are not presented with the full, exact line that Geralt will deliver, instead choosing from among short summaries.
  • The combat system has been reworked, being "much more open-ended" and which "will no longer require the timed input of the original game".
  • Les "cartes érotiques" ne seront pas de retour, mais Geralt pourra toujours mieux connaître certaines jeune femmes. Ces rencontres seront présentées par le moyen des cinématiques.
  • Selon le compte rendu polonais, il sera possible d'utiliser des parties saufgardées du premier jeu, mais les détails d'importation ne sont pas encore connus.
  • Fighting alongside companions will receive greater emphasis, although they will still act autonomously rather than be under the control of the player. How players relate to these companions (both in conversations and elsewhere) can open up quests and affect the game's ending.
  • Geralt sera capable de méditer n'importe où, tandis qu'il n'ailles pas d'aversaires dans les environs proches.
  • Geralt sera capable de grimper sur les murs et autres obstacles.

L'intrigue du &nbsp

Witcher 2 est prévue pour être moins linéaire que celle du premier jeu et est supposée présenter " trois intrigues indépendantes" conduisant à des fins multiples. .[1]

The Witcher 2 s'enchaîne immédiatement avec le premier, et suit l'attentat contre le roi Foltest, survenu dans la scène finale..[1] Geralt va être, une fois de plus, confronté aux witcher-like assassins, qui apparaissent être en relation avec un personnage nommé, dans la présentation, le Kingslayer.[2] Dans un trailer, le Kingslayer est vu parlant à Iorveth, un elfe haîssant les humains.[2] Le Kingslayer exhibe une tête qu'il affirme appartenir au roi Demawend d'Aedirn, et il dit que si Iorveth veut apporter son aide,, d'autres rois tomberont.

Other plot elements which have been referenced (but which do not necessarily correspond to the three plotlines mentioned) are Foltest's moves to capture the stronghold of the rebellious Baroness La Valette and "Geralt’s personal theme, in which he’s looking for his own identity".[1]

According to a fact sheet released for the game, Geralt's travels "will lead him up the rivière Pontar into the turbulent borderland between Temeria, Kaedwen and Aedirn".[1] A town named Flotsam, situated on the border between Temeria and Aedirn, will feature.

Parmi les personnages qui reviennent du premier jeu sont Triss Merigold, Zoltan, et Jaskier. Un nouveau personnage au nom de Vernon Roche sera introduit. Il est membre de l'armée Témérienne qui aidera Geralt.

Secrets dévoilés

A small segment of the game's early stages has been covered in some detail by previews and videos[2][3], apparently having been used as a demonstration for the media. In the final game, some or all of it may vary depending on player choice.

The segment begins with Geralt, Triss, and Roche on a ship, presumably on the Pontar river. They disembark and head into a forest, with Triss and Roche arguing. They are interrupted by the sound of someone playing a flute, and notice Iorveth watching them. Roche and Iorveth know each other, at least by reputation, and are hostile. A fight begins, with Iorveth signalling archers to attack — Triss is able to establish a shield to protect them (seen in the trailer), but is weakened by the effort, and needs to be carried by Roche. The shield renders Iorveth's archers useless, but enemies can still pass through the shield on foot, and Geralt must hold them off alone while the three slowly make their way to safety.

At some point after this, the three are admitted to the town of Flotsam, where they find a public hanging in progress. Two of the four people waiting on the gallows are Dandelion and Zoltan, the latter of whom turns out to be an informant that Roche was looking for. Geralt moves to save them, arguing with the guards (with some support from the townspeople) and then fighting them. The town's leader then arrives and speaks with Geralt — the two unnamed prisoners are hanged, but Dandelion and Zoltan are spared, with the town official telling Geralt to speak with him later to hear a proposal.

Geralt can later visit a nearby elven ruin which the rescued Dandelion informs him of. This involves fighting their way through a stretch of forest, and then fighting looters at the ruins. Triss accompanies him, and when they find themselves trapped after a fall, there is an opportunity for a love scene (possibly the one depicted in the trailer, as it supposedly takes place in a ruined bathhouse).

At some point later still, Geralt accepts the town official's quest and must fight a large monster that Geralt knows as a tentadrake, which may also be depicted in the trailer.
