CD Projekt Confirms The Witcher: Extended Edition News

Reams of new content and improvement heading to The Witcher...
Celebrating last week's announcement that sales of The Witcher have surpassed 600,000 copies, CD Projekt today revealed its 'special surprise'.
Proclaiming a range of new content and improvements available to download from March 14th or in the new Extended Edition box due for release on May 16th, the new content takes the form of two missions dubbed 'The Price of Neutrality' and 'Side Effects', providing two and three hours of new content respectively.
Based in the surroundings of the Kaer Morhen stronghold, 'The Price of Neutrality' finds Geralt coming back to the witchers base of operations for the winter. Coming across a small camp near the stronghold, Geralt meets a nobleman and a sorceress named Sabrina Glevissig, who are trying to find a young woman staying in the stronghold.
Born under the Black Sun and prophesised to ruin the world, Deidre is Eskel's surprise child and the sister of the nobleman who wants to make sure she will not have the crown. Sabrina wants to kill her as well to examine her body and discover the truth about the Black Sun - being The Witcher, Geralt has to choose who he sides with.
'Side Effects' finds Dandelion in trouble with Vyzim, and Geralt has to accumulate enough money to buy him out and pay for his excesses. Collecting the money by completing various tasks, players are free to mix effects of one task with another, for example in a fistfight competition Geralt can win cash or a bottle of alcohol. If he chooses to take the booze, he can use it to get one bandit drunk. Then he will give Geralt a key to a chest with loot.
Alongside the new content, CD Projekt will also be releasing a mod editor allowing Witcher fans to craft their own content.
Finally a long list of improvements sees enhancements to the inventory screen (filtering of alchemy ingredients by content, auto-sorting, special slot area); auto-save options; character differentiation mechanism (no more duplicated priests); along with 100 new gesture animations; improved loading times and voice work.
