Leaked video shows first Witcher 2 footage [Update]


Never mind the fact that the video is clearly watermarked with an "internal use only" label. Someone clearly got a hold of this in-progress behind-the-scenes look at The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings and decided to post it on YouTube. Yep, it's the previously unannounced (but also inevitable) sequel to the hit fantasy RPG from developer CD Projekt.

The video mixes gameplay footage from an alpha build of the game with behind-the-scenes looks at CD Projekt working on the game. The game definitely has a revamped graphical engine and the footage also shows off some of the game's magical and combat moves, some of which will be enhanced with the Havok physics engine. We have emailed CD Projekt for comment but we suspect that this video could be removed from YouTube pretty quickly.

Update: The official Witcher web site now has a comment about the video leak, saying that it was made about six months ago. The Witcher 2 is apparently still being shopped around to publishers but while they are not denying that the footage is of the game they are choosing not to comment on the game itself.
