Argh, I say.
CD Projekt RED's announced The Witcher 2 will not longer be coming to Xbox 360 this year. Instead, we're looking at early 2012 for the RPG sequel, a series that's been struggling to debut on consoles for a few years now.
Specifically, all parties involved are targeting first quarter 2012, meaning (likely) before the end of March.
The Xbox 360 version of the game has been pitched as an adaptation, not a port. CD Projekt RED hopes to spend the extra development time making sure the conversion happens smoothly.
"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 president Adam Kicinski in the press release.
More important, perhaps, are the recent legal issues surrounding the release of The Witcher 2.
Long story short, Namco Bandai's disputing CD Projeket RED being allowed to partner with THQ over the release of The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 in Europe.
