  "account": "In an interview at the Copernicon convention in Torun, Poland, Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski revealed that he is currently working on his next novel in The Witcher universe, with a target completion date of 2027. Speaking on stage, Sapkowski stated that he has already outlined his next book and is actively writing it. He confirmed that the story will continue to focus on Geralt of Rivia, dismissing the idea of a novel centered on other characters such as Yennefer of Vengerberg. Sapkowski also expressed that the possibilities for future prequels are endless, stating that \"the sky is the limit.\" Additionally, he mentioned his interest in returning to the short story format, noting that it is a more challenging endeavor than writing a novel. Assuming the author meets his deadline, Polish readers can expect the novel in late 2027 or 2028, with English translations following in late 2028 or 2029.",
