And teases more new content for later

In just a few months, 360 owning RPG lovers will be introduced to the wonderfully dark world of The Witcher when the second game in the series hits the platform. If you're still not set on buying the game, today's developer diary might help win you over. In either case, it serves as the perfect introduction the game's universe.

Note from about 2:00 to 3:00, there are a boatload of spoilers, so if you prefer to let the majority of the story sink in as you play, it's best to skip over that.

Oddly, developer CD Projekt RED keeps talking up an adapted UI, but it looks virtually identical to the PC interface here. In any case, the game is indeed looking stunning at 720p.

Worth noting: in case you thought they were done with the game finally, they're not. At the end of the video, it's said more content and enhancements will be announced later in the year.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition launches April 17, at which point new content will hit the PC version as well via a patch.
