[360] THQ to publish The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings

In May CD Projekt RED released the follow up to their widely praised and successful PC exclusive action-RPG The Witcher. Originally the team was hard at work on bringing the original to consoles but then switched the team to focus on the sequel. The work they put into The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings was evident as the game was an even bigger critical success than its predecessor and met high sales. Just before E3 CD Projekt RED announced the game is coming to the Xbox 360 console and now it has been revealed THQ will publish the title in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.

The 360 version, which will be an enhanced edition, will incorporate numerous improvements - which will be announced in the coming months.

CD Projekt RED Studio Head Adam Badowski said, ”Adapting The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Xbox 360 is a massive endeavor for us, and we’re committed to delivering one of the most complex and mature games ever to Xbox 360 players. We believe that with the marketing strength and distribution network of THQ we will be able to make the game an incredible success in Europe and around the world.”

Tim Walsh, VP of THQ Partners said, ”We are excited to work with CD Projekt RED to bring this unique role-playing game to Xbox 360 gamers. THQ Partners’ mission is to work with world class game creators who want to bring their games to market utilizing THQ’s best-in-class global distribution channels.”
