It should be noted that the game isn't a straightforward port of the PC version; it's been described as "an adaptation of the game to the new platform." Consequently, signficant changes and improvements are being made to the game, which are being cited as a reason for the new release date."The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection," says Adam Kicinski, President of CD Projekt RED S.A. CD Projekt RED also cites the ongoing legal dispute with Namco Bandai – The Witcher 2's "We have decided not to withhold information and to tell our fans immediately of the Xbox 360 launch moving to Q1 2012," says Adam Kicinski, President of CD Projekt RED. "As the launch of the game approaches, we will be sharing more details how it will be released on Xbox 360. I trust that despite the release date shift, players will be satisfied with what we are planning for them."The Witcher 2 for Xbox 360 will be on show at Gamescom 2011, so expect to hear what IGN thinks sometime soon.
