"We believe that with the marketing strength and distribution network of THQ we will be able to make the game an incredible success in Europe and around the world."

THQ Partners VP Tim Walsh added: "We are excited to work with CD Projekt RED to bring this unique role-playing game to Xbox 360 gamers.
