Exciting premium content coming to The
Witcher: Versus
Eager to drink from goblets of gold and eat
from plates of platinum, one2tribe and CD Projekt RED are excited to
announce plans to introduce premium content to the tremendously popular and
incredibly addictive browser-based game, The Witcher: Versus. Oh, that’s a
joke. The reality is that operating and continually developing a game with
more than 60,000 players tends to cost a bit of money.
Later this year, developer one2tribe will add
premium content to further enrich the deep gameplay of The Witcher: Versus,
based on the hit PC RPG from CD Projekt RED and the wildly popular fantasy
books from Andrzej Sapkowski. To avoid riots and hate mail, 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.
Premium content will be added gradually; the
first premium access package will contain new features intended to ease
account and character management; they 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. The designers
will reveal additional details over the next few months.
Future changes in The Witcher: Versus will not
focus on premium content only, and will serve to make the free-to-play game
even more enticing; leagues, tournaments, challenges, a full-featured RPG
world and much more will begin to find their way into The Witcher: Versus in
the later part of the year.
Gamers who wish to hack, slash, and uhh… magic
their way to victory over friends and strangers on their lunch breaks (or
anytime, really) can visit
