GOG.com says the promised new version 2.0 of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be released a week from today on September 29th. The celebrate release plans for the enhanced edition of CD Projekt RED's action/RPG sequel with a permanent priced cut, and then offer a disincentive to take advantage of that by announcing the new version will launch a sale. Here's word:

The best RPG of 2011 is about to get even better, and we're doing a few things to celebrate. For one, we're dropping the price of The Witcher 2 permanently, starting right now. From now on, CD Projekt RED's award-winning game of 2011 is $39.99 USD! Of course if you live in UK, the Eurozone, or Australia, the price will also drop for you, respectively by £5.00, €10.00 and $10 AUD. It still means we're offering the 'Fair Price Package' to European and Australian customers to make up for the USD price difference. Also aside of today's price drop, next Thursday (September 29) when the highly anticipated "version 2.0" arrives, we'll launch a 25% off promo on The Witcher 2, which will make this awesome offer even better as you'll be able to grab the game for only $29.99 USD!
