Speaking to French fantasy magazine Chimères, Andrzej Sapkowski said that while he has no plans for the sequel, he has finished another Witcher book. “I finished the book,” he said. “It took me maybe two years – something like that.”
While the saga of Sapkowski’s Witcher books came to an end with The Lady of the Lake (1999), he returned to Geralt’s adventures in 2013 with Season of Storms, most of which takes place between the events of the early short stories. This book is also presumably set somewhere within the existing timeline, as Sapkowski had previously said that he was not interested in expanding it beyond that.
“The story is complete,” he said at Warsaw Comic Con in 2018. “The saga is complete, so if I happen to write something in The Witcher universe – and I definitely plan to – it would probably be something like a prequel or a sidequel. Not a sequel.”
The book is set to be released in Polish at the end of the year, with an English translation due in early 2025. Meanwhile, The Witcher 4 remains in development at CD Projekt Red, and voice actor Doug Cockle recently confirmed that he will once again voice Geralt, although he will not be the main character this time.
