Over A Decade Old!

The Witcher franchise saw a surge in popularity after the release of the third entry in 2015. CD Projekt Red quickly captured audiences with a charming protagonist, deep RPG mechanics, and a beautiful open world.

While many continue to praise The Witcher 3 as a fantastic RPG, its predecessor, The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings, was also impressive, delivering among the best RPG experiences of its time.

The game was released 12 years ago and served as a great sequel to the story of Geralt of Rivia.

Why it matters: The Witcher franchise is CD Projekt Red’s most successful IP, and the second game played an essential part in ensuring an excellent foundation for the most popular release.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Following the first game, The Witcher 2 was a huge step up in nearly way. Having been released four years after its predecessor, the game brought a massive overhaul to the visuals.

This was coupled with interesting settings like Flotsam and Vergen for an RPG worth playing. CD Projekt Red also introduced a new combat system with a more action-oriented approach.

The developer took this combat system and improved it further for The Witcher 3. In other areas, The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings delivered a compelling narrative that made it an immediate success.

The game saw a highly positive critical reception and sold over 1.7 million copies in just over a year. Following the massive popularity of The Witcher 3, fans also revisited the older games, leading to even better sales for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

The PC platform is the best option for those looking to try this RPG. The Witcher 2 can often be found on Steam below $5 on sales, making an excellent offer for the hours of fun and gameplay found in the title.
