Binger

Could the world of fantasy fiction soon witness a new chapter, not just in its beloved sagas, but in the very ethos of its storytellers? For years, readers have debated the reliability of literary promises, the trustworthiness of authors, and the patience required for legendary sequels. In this climate of anticipation and skepticism, a voice of transformation descended like an oracle.

Amid the clamor of waiting, a storyteller, particularly that of The Witcher

,

 has dared to pledge certainty – to vow completion where others hesitate.

In a world where the ink of a promise fades before the anticipation can fade, Andrzej Sapkowski has lit a lamp to keep writing over the lost words, but not without a throne of costs, it seems.

Andrzej Sapkowski’s bold declaration: a promise etched in ink

With flourish, Andrzej Sapkowski, celebrated creator of The Witcher

books, has announced new reprises on the horizon. Unlike some of his peers, Sapkowski does not mince words; rather, he promises delivery that is not in the distant, nebulous future. With a playful jab at George R.R. Martin, the one responsible for the epic and a considerable investment of time: Game of Thrones, 

Sapkowski assures fans that “…unlike George R. R. Martin—whom, by the way, I know personally—when I say I’ll write something, I will

“, as reported by Redanian Intelligence

.

 

As anticipation builds, Sapkowski’s message is unmistakable: he is not finished with Geralt’s world. More books are planned, with the author hinting at new stories within the next few years. Meanwhile, the next installation, Crossroads of Ravens, is set already for international release on September 30, 2025, in nineteen countries. Translated once more by David French

, the book will introduce readers to a younger Geralt, barely scarred by life’s hardships. The story promises growth, harsh realities, and the choices that shape a legend.

Andrzej Sapkowski once scribbled the name ‘Geralt of Rivia’ into history – from an idea sparked by a contest, a love for legends, and a twist of Slavic magic, to an epic sprawling far beyond the written word. What began as a simple short story has today become a legend of its own. 

The Slavic spark that lit The Witcher’s fire burns even today

  Andrzej Sapkowski’s initial foray into fantasy began with a short story, Wiedźmin, submitted to Fantastyka magazine in 1986, inspired by Slavic mythology and his own love for Arthurian legend. This story, introducing Geralt of Rivia, won third prize and sparked a demand for more tales, leading to story collections and a bestselling saga. Today, The Witcher is a global phenomenon, adapted into a blockbuster video game with exclusive elements

, a Netflix series, an animated movie, and comics, with over 75 million game copies sold and translations in 37 languages.

From humble beginnings to global acclaim, Andrzej Sapkowski’s vision has transcended literature. The Witcher’s universe continues to expand, fueled by a creator who keeps his promises, much to the delight of readers everywhere. In a genre where patience is often tested, Sapkowski’s reliability is a rare and welcome gift, ensuring that the saga of Geralt of Rivia will endure for years to come.
