A New Witcher Book Is in the Works, and It Might Be out Sooner than Expected
Andrzej Sapkowski is writing another Witcher book, which is expected to feature Geralt of Rivia again. He aims to complete it by the end of 2027, giving fans a possible continuation or prequel to Geralt’s story sooner than anticipated.
The latest book, 2025’s The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens, explored Geralt’s early career, and Sapkowski has suggested there is still plenty of his life to examine. Polish readers could receive the new book in late 2027 or early 2028, while international publication may follow roughly a year later; Sapkowski is also considering writing more short stories.
In short
- A new Witcher book starring Geralt is being written.
- Sapkowski hopes to finish it by late 2027.
- International readers may wait until around 2028 or 2029.
Explained simply
The Witcher is a fantasy series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, centred on Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter known as a witcher. The books mix folklore, political conflict and Geralt’s journeys through a world shared by humans and other beings.
The series has grown beyond the books, with translations, video games and television adaptations bringing it to readers and viewers around the world. Sapkowski has returned to Geralt’s earlier life in recent writing, while the character’s longer story leaves room for further tales.
