Playing the original The Witcher is not a prerequisite for playing and enjoying The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which is key for console-only gamers who will soon be getting the sequel on Xbox 360 for the first time without having prior access to the PC-exclusive first game. That being said, knowing the events of the original certainly helps build a respect for, understanding of, and continuity with the world and its characters, so to bring newcomers (and returning witchers looking for a narrative refresh) up to speed CD Projekt RED recaps the key plot points of Geralt’s previous adventure in this second part of the ‘Flashback’ animated series. Just be warned that the short contains spoilers, so if you hope to some day have a good gaming PC to play The Witcher on, you may want to skip the video. Otherwise, click play and enjoy!
