North American Witchers to Receive Director's Cut

June 3, 2009 4:07 PM

CD Projekt RED is to release The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut for North America, the studio slyly revealed in an announcement concerning an upcoming patch.

The North American release of the action RPG was touched by the censor's hand, with certain portions of the female anatomy covered up through clever image manipulation. The "Director's Cut" tag would suggest a reversal but RED is playing it coy for now, with marketing vice president Tom Ohle saying only "you might be able to guess what it is."

The casual reveal came in an announcement for The Witcher's forthcoming patch 1.5, which adds five new fan-made missions and removes all DRM--disc check included.

CD Projekt RED recently suspended production on The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, its "completely rebuilt" Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of the PC game following disputes with co-developer Widescreen Games over performance and payment.

  I have the UK Edition of The Witcher and did the EE download upgrade way back when it first was released digitally by CDPR -- and there's no DRM-check for the DVD when the game boots up at all.
  
  I can't speak for the rest of the game's versions, though...
