Playing The Witcher 1 is not required to play The Witcher 2…

…although it is recommended.

CD Project RED has release a new five minute video that sums up the story of The Witcher 1. If you haven’t had a chance to play the first, but want to play the second, this video will get you on track. Warning: As it tells the whole story of The Witcher 1, MAJOR SPOILERS!

I do recommend that, if possible, play The Witcher 1. It is a really great game, and one of the best uses of choice in a game. So if you can, play it, otherwise watch this video:
