This week CD Projekt shipped out their Enhanced Edition of their action-RPG The Witcher (check out our review for our opinion on how it turned out). However, they have also been improving their free-to-play action-fighting browser based game The Witcher: Versus (with the help of developer one2tribe). Today CD Projekt announced that they would begin to launch premium content to the game (yes, that means stuff you have to pay for).

The press release stated that "one2tribe reassures cash-strapped gamers around the world that they will not be shafted by this new content, as those who indulge in premium content will not gain an advantage within the game. The core gameplay of The Witcher: Versus will remain free of charge, and will continue to evolve in parallel in the coming months." The specific contents of the first content include "a rucksack for items that are not currently equipped, a history of fights against a certain player (for ultimate bragging rights), as well as a private duels archive."

Earlier this year The Witcher developers CD Projekt announced an extension of their franchise called The Witcher: DuelMail, a free-to-play browser based combo of fighting and fantasy RPG that they developed alongside the company onetribe. Well today the game has come out of its beta phase and has received a new name along with it: The Witcher Versus.

The game itself remains the same but thanks to the input of over 48,000 beta testers The Witcher Versus has received a number of improvements including better animations and background visuals, improved character balance and more. CD Projekt claims the game will receive additional content updates and improvements in the months ahead.
