You Can Grab ‘The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut’ For Free on GOG.com (Again)

Published

Need something to tide you over until Cyberpunk 2077 gets released later this week? CD Projekt RED have decided to make their very first game, coincidentally the first entry in The Witcher series, absolutely free on GOG.com. Yeah, they’ve had many times before where they’ve given it away for free. And yes, the game is 13 years old now. But with the modding community still going strong, there’s still life in the game.

To actually claim the game, you’ll need to either install or update the GOG Galaxy client. From there, if you don’t already own The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut, you should see a banner across the top of the page. Click on the giveaway button, and the game will show up in your account.

Yes, it’s another proprietary client. But the thing is, once you claim the game, you can simply uninstall the client, and The Witcher will still be in your account, allowing you to download the installer separately, without the need for the client itself.

Plus, as CD Projekt RED are wont to do, there are several goodies that come along with The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut, including the soundtrack, game maps and more. Plus, it’s free, so why complain about that?

The second season of The Witcher Netflix series is currently in production. Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled for release on December 10th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with PS5 and Xbox Series versions coming in the future.

‘Dead Island 2’ Arrives on Steam With Hefty Discount [Trailer]

Published

The wait is over for Steam users looking to stomp around Los Angeles busting zombie heads in Deep Silver and Dambuster’s Dead Island 2. The multimillion-selling follow-up to the 2011 original is now available on Steam, as well as the title’s two DLCs, including the recently-released “SoLA”. Deep Silver has marked the occasion with a new launch trailer.

In fact, Deep Silver has sweetened the deal with a 50% off sale for Dead Island 2 on Steam that’s on until April 29. That sale also applies to the title’s expansion packs and DLCs.

Just in case you missed it the first time around, Dead Island 2 centres around a deadly virus that’s spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the zombie inside of you.

Known as Slayers, you (and if you choose, up to three players in co-op mode) must embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into.

Dead Island 2 is also available on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
