Get Ready for a Wait: New Witcher Book from Original Author

Aug 26, 2024 11:16 AM

The Witcher 4 is still a few years away from its release, as confirmed by CD Projekt Red. The sequel promises to be "the most advanced" project yet, with production starting this year. Meanwhile, author Andrzej Sapkowski has completed a new Witcher book, which is set to release in Poland in 2024 and globally in 2025. This new installment follows his previous works set in the Witcher universe, which have garnered a faithful fanbase due to their deep storytelling and rich character development. While fans wait for the game, the arrival of new literary content offers a glimpse into the world of Geralt once more.

When is The Witcher 4 expected to release?

The Witcher 4's release date is still unclear, but production is expected to commence this year, suggesting it may take several years before it launches, likely not before 2030. However, fans can look forward to a new Witcher book in 2024, which will offer more stories set in the beloved universe.

The Witcher games have gained immense popularity since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, which is celebrated for its engaging narrative and expansive open world. The series, based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, has not only captured the hearts of gamers but has also inspired a successful Netflix adaptation, further expanding its reach and influence in pop culture. As anticipation builds for the next game and the new book, both fans of the franchise can revel in the upcoming content about their favorite monster-hunting protagonist.
