We know it's not strictly connected with The Witcher, but our sister site GOG.com, that offers DRM-free classic PC games, has just announced the addition of Activision games. The good news for us, RPG fans, is the release of one of the most diverse and open-ended RPG: Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Created by many of the same minds responsible for the Fallout series, the game places players in a refreshingly unique setting, as ogres and other fantastical creatures come to grips with life in the midst of an industrial revolution. The second release from Activision is the first part of point and click adventure games series Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. Both games are now available for $5.99 each, compatible with modern operating systems and DRM-free.

CD Projekt RED’s official announcement about another information leak regarding The Witcher 2

"Unfortunately, I have to confirm that the video which appeared a few days ago on the Internet is indeed a presentation of The Witcher 2. It’s a video of a demonstration of the game during the so-called business days of the IGROMIR game expo in Russia,” said Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD Projekt RED.

“It was a closed demonstration for business partners, representatives of the biggest trade chains and a handful of chosen journalists – one of many such demonstrations CD Projekt RED has been doing in various countries. Unfortunately, despite a declared ban on filming and photography at all such events, someone managed to shoot a video at IGROMIR. Just like last time, we will not comment on that. Simultaneously, we can assure you that all confirmed information will be revealed soon after the game is officially announced.”
