The Witcher 2 will feature Insane difficulty

Turns out CD Projekt are big fans of the notoriously difficult Demon's Souls. Taking inspiration from that title, their upcoming RPG The Witcher 2 will feature an Insane difficulty mode which will put you square back at the beginning of the game should you die.

"Of course we plan to have a resurrection scroll, maybe DLC or something. You'll see," adds lead gameplay designer Mateusz Kanik.

Also noted: it will be very difficult to avoid fights, as enemies will have special abilities. Undead, for example, can dig into the ground and appear right in front of you and grab you.

Finally, regarding that save import option we mentioned previously, the team is considering making a Mass Effect 2-style story generator for those that didn't play the first title. Of course, we recommend just picking up the game now and playing through if you haven't already, ahead of the May launch.
