The Witcher, specifically Geralt, is returning in a brand-new release that’s not related to The Witcher 4.

No, the reason Geralt is popping back into our lives is none other than a new Witcher book from series creator Andrzej Sapkowski, who wrote the stories that eventually became one of the most popular video game series of all time.

It then later became a less-than-successful TV show but we don’t need to talk about that…

Many of the stories used in the TV show and video games were adapted from the books, but, of course, plenty of creative liberties were taken to fit with whatever media they were being presented through.

The last book that was released was Song Of Storms all the way back in 2013, with Sapkowski announcing some time later that he was working on another.

That book now has a title, Rozdroże Kruków, which directly translates to Raven Crossroads. With that in mind, the book will probably be called something like Crossroad of Ravens if it follows the pattern of the last few releases.

Details on the book are obviously slim but some were shared by the author, including the fact that Geralt will be its protagonist once again.

In a new twist on the character, the story will follow our hero during his teenage years, as he battles with a mysterious creature haunting a graveyard. Given his lack of experience by this point in time, we could see a far more hot-headed Geralt than we’ve previously seen, but probably one with just as much vigour and strength.

As for future appearances of the character, it seems like Geralt won’t be the lead in The Witcher 4, but given his popularity, we might see him star as a side character, perhaps in a role like Vesemir where they’re training a new and upcoming witcher student.
