CD Projekt RED isn’t done with The Witcher. In fact, the first title was just the beginning. Polish Web site Polygamia spotted a supposedly leaked internal video for The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings. In the video, CD Projekt CEO Marcin Iwinski introduces the viewer to the upcoming sequel and talks briefly about a variety of new mechanics including a new dynamic night and day system, as well as new dialogue and combat systems.
Also, there is a dragon. A dragon that spits fire. Dynamic fire.
We’re not sure if this is actually a bit of confidential video or not. This almost smells like a viral thing. That said, this could be a video CD Projekt is using to fish for a publisher for the sequel. We’ll drop some e-mails about it. In the meanwhile, check out the video below the fold.

That said, since this one is multiplatform I really hope they don't dumb it down for consoles.
@StingingVelvet - Also, be careful. This isn't confirmed as multi-plat.

Who said it's going multiplatform?
However, I highly doubt that this was accidentally leaked, as it is a blatant advertisement for the game. Were it a leaked video I'd think it would most likely just be some cinematics or gameplay and not a Iwinski saying, "Hello, this is a video showing you the game we are working on."
Either way, I'm stoked that you posted this. Thanks!
But LOOLLOLO at the voice acting. Tommy Wiseau's "The Room", anyone?
If it's indeed leaked, the video was probably intended as a pitch for potential publishers.
@TewDee I'm pretty sure you're right about the voices since it's only an Alpha version. At least I hope you're right.
I thought it was confirmed, but I guess not officially? In any case, we're all pretty sure it is happening, and I personally don't want another Oblivion scenario.
Perhaps you're thinking of the canceled Witcher: Call of the White Wolf? (Or something named like that).
I'm still in the middle of the first one but it's goddamn brilliant.
@Zodiac
They can't be. I want old badass Geralt.
There have been lots of rumors from reliable sources here in Poland about The Witcher 2 being multiplatform from the get go (and about the Rise of the White Wolf being a form of preparation for that).
Excited.
Sinner.
If your combat system is so shit the only cool things you can make happen are pre-scripted events, IMPROVE YOUR COMBAT SYSTEM.
The swordplay animations are pretty much the same.
QTEs suck.
But holy shit, look at how powerful the knockback sign is now...Wow.
