The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings
Launch trailer:


Some info:
Its sequel (obviously) to The Witcher, released back in 2007 by CDProjekt RED, a polish company.
I guess that not too many people know but the events in The Witcher are inspired by the books wrote by Andrzej Sapkowski. The game tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher (or Hexer), which is basically a mutaded human that is a professional monster hunter. I won't spoil the first game too much, so I'll let the wiki help us
Originally Posted by http://witcher.wikia.com/
The game is centred around Geralt the witcher, also known as "the White Wolf", who at the beginning of the game suffers from amnesia. He gradually learns that he was a very renowned witcher, and that he had friends and enemies almost everywhere, who remember him but whom he does not remember. Through the player's actions, he will redefine those relationships and choose his path in the political intrigue that surrounds him.

It's pretty, but they didn't show any in-game footage. That tells me they are still working on it (best hope), or that the plot is far too linear for my tastes. The use of Celtic wailing to create an epic feel is so overused. I did like the gritty feel of it though.

Yes, they did show in-game footage. There are at least 4 developer diaries, along with various launch trailers and they showed a demo at E3. There's shitloads of info about it out already.

You will be at the mercy of Bethesda and Blizzard for that comment!

Second Ziknon gameplay review "the bard hangs for debauchery". OK I'm won over partially with that quote, it still looks a bit linear to me, but I'd try out a demo.
