New Witcher Novel Starring Geralt Is Coming, Sapkowski Says

Ready for more Geralt of Rivia? You're not alone — and the man who created him says the White Wolf isn't done yet.

Author Andrzej Sapkowski has confirmed he's actively writing another new Witcher novel, and it will star Geralt of Rivia. Even better, he's aiming to complete the book in 2027.

That's the whole announcement in a nutshell, but for Witcher fans it's a big deal. Sapkowski is the original creator of the Witcher universe — the books that eventually inspired CD Projekt Red's beloved game trilogy and Netflix's live-action series. When he says Geralt is coming back, it carries weight.

What we don't know yet is just as notable as what we do. There's no title, no plot details, no release date beyond that 2027 completion target, and no word on how the story fits alongside the existing Witcher saga. The 2027 figure is a goal for finishing the writing, not a confirmed launch date, so pacing yourself is probably wise.

Still, the fact that Sapkowski is actively working on it — rather than teasing a possibility — is the headline here. A new Geralt-led novel from the original author is exactly the kind of thing that gets readers speculating about timelines, returning characters, and where in the Witcher world this story might land.

For now, all we can do is wait and keep an eye out for more details. Expect plenty of speculation between now and 2027.
