Xbox 360 The Witcher 2 delayed until 2012
The Xbox 360 version of CD Projekt's The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2012, partly due to the ongoing legal tussle between Namco and THQ over publishing rights. Making the most out of a bad situation, however, CD Projekt has promised to put the additional development time to good use. "The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection, so that the game offers an ideally balanced, fantastic experience to gamers," said studio head Adam Kicinski. "As the launch of the game approaches, we will be sharing more details how it will be released on Xbox 360. I trust that despite the release date shift, players will be satisfied with what we are planning for them."
