Well this is a retail listing so if I bought the retail edition of The Witcher 3 and then bought the retail edition of Enhanced Edition that would be a "double dip"

Better loot drops would be nice. I think i went 10 levels at one point with the same items, despite going through an abundance of hidden treasures.

Hopefully this means Blood and Wine will be out the same day. Do we have a solid release date for that? It was originally supposed to be early 2016, but I feel like I remember hearing about a delay at some point.

Sooner than I expected. Blood & Wine isn't even out yet. It would be awesome if it released on the same date. Interested in seeing what the changes are as well. Gwent online would be nice.

I hope it's a free update on console too.

Enhanced Editions have pretty much been massive overhauls for the last two games. Really interested in what they're gonna do with Witcher 3.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition 09/16/08
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings 05/17/11
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Enhanced Edition) 04/17/12

I'm in if they add towers to climb that show nearby points of interest.

Playing through this right now. Wondering if I should wait...

No point in waiting unless you don't have an internet connection. This'll just be the current up-to-date version with all the DLC I expect... if this is even legit because CDPR said there will never be an Enhanced Edition of 3.

I have the Witcher 2 on 360 but I've been holding off on getting the Witcher 3 because I wanted to finish the former first. I found the combat to be too clunky and cumbersome so I dropped it. Will finishing the Witcher 2 enhance my experience of playing 3 or should I just skip it? It hasn't aged too well.

The enhanced edition includes all the patches and free dlc. You're not missing anything by playing it right now.
This was the first time they released paid dlc so I don't know if Hearts of Stone is included, but regardless, there's no reason to stop your playthrough.

If this comes to consoles and is free I'll certainly jump back in if there's some decent tweaks to it.
Never did get round to complete it.

Really hope this is true.
Dying to play Witcher 3 since it came out but just haven't had the time. A version that includes the DLC and gameplay improvements like W2: EE did would be perfect for me.

Yeah, but I wonder if it'll have any significant changes to the core game. Changes that would make playing it for the first time more enioyable(not that I'm not enjoying myself as it is).

Witcher 2 has absolutely aged well (even the 360 version) and its combat is far superior to Witcher 3's.
You can be a lot less attentive in Witcher 3 though so maybe it could suit you better.
As for the story - every Witcher game is a good enough entry point. I would obviously recommend playing all of them but if you don't like the previous games it's still worth giving 3 a shot.

We don't know if this includes the expansions. They could release Witcher 3 EE: GotY edition later on if they choose to.

For your PC (dependending on resolution, effects, and specs), 60fps is already there.

Would be great if true. I am planning on buy a PS4 soon and this is one of the first games I plan on getting. So an updated version with all the DLC would be great. However, the fact that the second dlc isn't even out yet leaves me skeptical. Unless they plan on releasing it without the DLC or with a code, which would seem redundant....

Interesting viewpoint. I feel The Witcher 2 has by far the worst combat in the series. Even The Witcher 1's clickfest felt more dynamic and engaging.
There's no reason for this to not include the expansions. Worst case scenario, it'll come with a voucher for Blood and Wine.
I'm not sure why they'd release the Enhanced Edition in February though. Possibly to capitalize on all of the GOTY awards? A lot of people just heard of TW3 from all of the media coverage this month.

Struggles to hit 30 let alone 60fps on consoles lol
I really hope this is true, can't wait for Blood & Wine, which I'm sure is part of the "Enhanced Edition." I remember that Marcin guy teasing on twitter a while ago that he was looking at some exciting new "features" for Blood & Wine, so I expect it will be more than just a content update in that DLC, I think they're really still endeavoring to fix whatever issues people have with the game before putting it in the archive, so to speak.
Yeah sure they'll just toggle that "60 FPS" setting that they've been sitting on, no problem at all.

Typical, I just bought this for £20.
EE has always been a free update in CDPR's past, I doubt they're going to change that now.
Either way you certainly will get your 20's worth with this game.

Hmm, the word "changes" in particular piques my interest.I remember that Marcin guy teasing on twitter a while ago that he was looking at some exciting new "features" for Blood & Wine, so I expect it will be more than just a content update in that DLC, I think they're really still endeavoring to fix whatever issues people have with the game before putting it in the archive, so to speak.

Whoa this early? But it wouldn't make any sense of the second expansion isn't included.
But if it has all DLC then I'm all over it. I'm so psyched to finally play it.
I'm reading the books right now. Just red another one of the short stories, so brilliant.
But then I also have to replay the second one, so much to do.

I thought the Full Combat Rebalance mod made it pretty fun.

CD Projekt Red always releases enhanced editions of their games.

I forgot about that tweet. It's crazy to think that we could really be less than a month away from Blood & Wine.

The enhanced edition and the DLC are obviously two seperate things. No-one is implying they're going to give the DLC away for free, but it's also sort of expected nowdays that retail rereleases include DLC.
It'll be like the Dark souls 2 vanilla vs SOFTS edition where the base game got a patch of balance updates, some added lore via item description changes, balance updates and some other things at the same time as SOFTS releasing.
Alright, guess I just got confused wether the enhanced edition would include the expansion packs (alá GOTY-edition) or not, but I guess that's a no to that question then. I'll wait for the full package in that case.
