CD Projekt slays Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition rumour

Don't believe everything that's leaked by prescient French retailers. Though Amazon has a good record for revealing release dates, French supermarket E.Leclerc seems to have missed the mark with its posting for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Enhanced Edition dated February 5, as spotted by NeoGAF Renae. Further research by Coreda using the listing's EAN barcode uncovered a Belgian site with the same entry. According to CD Projekt's Pawel Bruza, however, it's collective madness.

"There's no Enhanced Edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that we are aware of," Burza said on the CD Projekt forums, "this is some kind of error that we will look into."

It could be a brazen cover-up of course, but that doesn't make sense to me. For one thing, we're still due Wild Hunt's biggest expansion, boasted by the Enhanced Editions of The Witcher 1 and 2.

Burza doesn't deny the possibility of an Enhanced Edition in future, but I'd expect it to take the form of a complete 'game of the year'-type deal.
