The Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, called an adaptation by developer CD Projekt Red, will feature a new four-minute CGI intro. The extended video has been created by Oscar-nominated animator Tomasz Bagiński, who also created the intro for the first game.
“The CGI Intro for The Witcher 2 will have different flavour than the one known from the first Witcher game. In Witcher 1 we have quite an intimate story which practically consists of only 2 main characters,” said Baginski. “The Intro told a part of the first short story about Geralt of Rivia ever written by the author Andrzej Sapkowski and was not directly connected with the game itself. For us it was also kind of a tribute to the author.”
He added: “Today, we have a different situation. Some shots seen in the Xbox trailers show that this time we went into different direction. We have very spectacular and epic scenes strictly connected with the events from the game and its subtitle. I won’t reveal more in order to not spoil watching it when the game comes out.”
CD Projekt RED also revealed that the intro will eventually be part of an update to the PC version of The Witcher 2.
