Andrzej Sapkowski targets 2027 finish for Witcher book

Sapkowski has not said whether the book will revisit Geralt’s early years; his comments keep further prequels possible but do not confirm one.

Andrzej Sapkowski is writing another Witcher book, and Redanian Intelligence reports it will center on Geralt. He aims to finish it by the end of 2027.

The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens, published in 2025, is a prequel about Geralt's early life as a witcher.

Asked whether there was room to explore more of Geralt's formative years in further prequels, he answered: "Room? Sky is the limit." That answer keeps prequels on the table. It does not say the book he is writing now is one.

Short stories, the harder job

Sapkowski is also considering more short stories.

He does not see the shorter form as a shortcut. "It is not an easy thing to create a good short story. This is much more difficult than writing a novel," he said.

For now, readers have a deadline for the writing, not a release date.
