Who doesn't love freebies? The Enhanced Edition of the original The Witcher video game, initially released in 2007 by developer CD Projekt RED, is currently available for free on GOG! This latest offer comes after the developers announced that they are working on remaking The Witcher game (codenamed: Canis Majoris) using Unreal Engine 5 in early October.

This offer also arrives during CD Projekt RED's 15th Anniversary celebration of its popular fantasy RPG franchise. If you're wondering how to claim The Witcher: Enhanced Edition for free, then you'll be happy to know that the process is relatively painless. We've detailed all the steps in the section below.

If you've never played The Witcher game, you'll be in for a real treat. The game is "set in a dark fantasy world where moral ambiguity reigns"; you'll play as Geralt of Rivia, essentially a wondering supernatural monster hunter, and be tasked with completing various quests, with each decision dictating which of the game's three endings you'll uncover.

The game strongly emphasizes its story and character development, creating a truly immersive experience filled with many narrative plot twists. Moreover, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition boasts everything great about the original Witcher game, except with loads of new animations, NPC models, two new adventures: Side Effects and The Price of Neutrality, and more!
