The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be released on May 17, 2011 exclusively for PC.

This marks a delay of “a few weeks” to allow the game more time to be further polished to a shining action RPG perfection.

“We’ve decided to the move the launch date back a few weeks to afford us more time to polish the game,” he said.

Developer and publisher CD Projekt also announced that they will be streaming a live conference on the official Witcher 2 website on November 18th at 12:30 PM EST where they will reveal additional pre-order specifics.

The second installment in the RPG saga about the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, features a thoroughly engrossing, mature storyline defining new standards for thought-provoking, non-linear game narration. In addition to an epic story, the game features an original, brutal combat system that uniquely combines tactical elements with dynamic action.

A new, modern game engine, responsible both for beautiful visuals and sophisticated game mechanics puts players in this lively and believable world. A captivating story, dynamic combat system, beautiful graphics, and everything else that made the original Witcher such a great game are now executed in a much more advanced and sophisticated way.
