The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be upgraded to version 2.0 on PC with an automatic update on September 29, CD Projekt revealed today at Gamescom. The free enhancements include a new tutorial system (YES!) to train players on game's mechanics, hopefully sparing players the frustration of dying 18 times in the first 20 minutes of the game. It will also add a "Dark Mode" difficulty, which is like Insane Mode but allows saving. There will also be a new "Arena Mode," an arcade style survival mode that has you hacking and slashing through wave after wave of ever-more-hearty beast. There are also 20 new tech enhancements that the devs didn't delve into.

The company also announced that the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, scheduled for Q1 2012, will include all the DLC updates to the game, including the 2.0 version. If you haven't tried Witcher 2, definitely check it out after the update -- your initial experience with the game should go much smoother.
