Andrzej Sapkowski Confirms Another Witcher Book Is on the Way with a Late 2027 Target

Author Andrzej Sapkowski confirmed he is writing a new Witcher book focusing on Geralt, with a target completion date by the end of 2027.

The Witcher universe continues to expand across every medium possible. As reported by Polygon, author Andrzej Sapkowski recently confirmed at a convention in Poland that he is actively working on a brand new Witcher book and expects to finish writing by the end of 2027. Fans waiting for the next chapter of the Continent can likely expect the book in Polish by late 2027 or early 2028, with international translations following roughly a year later, similar to the rollout for Crossroads of Ravens.

According to tracking from Redanian Intelligence, the upcoming book will once again focus on Geralt of Rivia. Sapkowski noted that he does not plan to shift focus to other prominent characters like Yennefer for future books. Given that recent entries like Crossroads of Ravens explored younger years in the monster hunter's life, there is plenty of room left to examine formative periods in Geralt's timeline through more short stories or prequels.

For players deeply invested in CD Projekt Red's upcoming slate, including The Witcher 4 and the ongoing remaster projects, this literary expansion keeps the source material vibrant alongside the games. Sapkowski admits that writing short stories remains a demanding creative challenge, but his commitment to returning to Geralt ensures that the broader ecosystem around the franchise will stay active for years to come.
