The Witcher’s Geralt Officially Returns for New Adventure
Andrzej Sapkowski says he is working on another Witcher book, which is expected to feature Geralt. The news offers fans a new story in the series, while Sapkowski’s comments suggest he does not plan to write Witcher books centred on other characters such as Yennefer.
Sapkowski aims to finish writing by the end of 2027, which could put a Polish release in late 2027 or early 2028; international readers may wait about another year. The latest book, 2025’s *The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens*, followed a young Geralt, and Sapkowski has also said he is considering more short stories.
In short
- Sapkowski is writing another Witcher book featuring Geralt.
- He hopes to finish it by the end of 2027.
- International readers may wait roughly a year after Poland’s release.
Explained simply
The Witcher is a fantasy series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. Its best-known character is Geralt, a monster hunter whose travels bring him into contact with people, politics and supernatural forces.
The books have inspired games, television adaptations and readers around the world. Geralt is central to much of the series, while characters such as the sorceress Yennefer have important roles in its wider world.
Sapkowski’s books are first published in Polish, with translations following later, so readers in other countries may receive them at different times. His choices about which characters to follow shape what parts of the Witcher world readers get to see.
