I
would guess that a significant number of Witcher 3 owners
came to the game by way ofThe Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. But
there are bound to be quite a lot of newcomers too, and it's reasonable to
assume that a goodly number of them will say to themselves, "I quite enjoy
this Witchering business, and would like to know more about previous adventures
I may have missed." And for those folks, GOG has a deal.
The
retailer announced today
that Witcher 3 owners who purchase the "expansion pass"
before 11:59 pm PT on June 8 will be given free copies of The Witcher and The
Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on GOG. The pass includes two new "epic
adventures," totaling an estimated 30 hours of play on top of the original
game: Hearts of Stone, in which Geralt pursues a contract on behalf of the
mysterious Man of Glass, and Blood and Wine, which leads him into the previously-unseen
region of Toussaint, a land untainted by war but, inevitably, filled with
dangers nonetheless.
Both
expansions are expected "in the coming months," which, based on their original announcement,
means October for Hearts of Stone, and early 2016 for Blood and Wine. The free
games will be provided in the form of GOG codes, which can be redeemed or
shared with a non-Witcher-owning friend until August 31.
