CD Projekt has confirmed The Witcher 2 for the Xbox 360 will be delayed and currently targeting for a release sometime in Q1 2012.

The delay will allow more room for the developer to polish the game, but was the major reason was due to the company’s ongoing legal battle with Namco over the publishing rights on the Xbox 360.

“The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection, so that the game offers an ideally balanced, fantastic experience to gamers. 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,” said studio boss Adam Kicinski.”

CD Projekt has also mentioned that they will soon release a video on a “major DLC” that will form a part of an “upcoming, as-yet-unannounced update.”
