Next Witcher Novel Targeted for 2027 Completion, Author Andrzej Sapkowski Confirms
Andrzej Sapkowski, creator of The Witcher series, has confirmed that he is actively working on the next novel in the universe, with a targeted completion date by the end of 2027. The Polish author revealed the update while speaking at the Copernicon convention in Torun, Poland, announcing that he has already outlined the book and is in active writing stages.
The next installment will continue to center on Geralt of Rivia as the protagonist. During his convention appearance, Sapkowski addressed fan questions about potential spin-offs, specifically shutting down speculation about expanding the novels to focus on other characters such as Yennefer. According to the author, he intends to keep the upcoming book focused on Geralt rather than explore stories featuring other established characters from the universe.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Sapkowski’s announcement marks significant news for fans of the literary franchise. The novels form the foundation of The Witcher multimedia empire, which includes the acclaimed video game series and Netflix’s television adaptation. Fans already anticipate multiple Witcher projects in development, including a remaster of The Witcher 3, the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion, and The Witcher 4, expected to release in 2028.
Sapkowski’s continued work on the book series demonstrates his ongoing commitment to expanding Geralt’s story within the original medium that started the franchise. The 2027 completion target provides fans with a concrete timeline for when they can expect new literary content from the creator.
