The Witcher: Raven's Crossroad officially announced

Have you ever wondered about Geralt’s teenage years?

As Witcher fans, we’ve accompanied the White Wolf on many adventures, yet his earlier years remain somewhat of a mystery.

In a newly announced release, titled The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens, we’ll see what helped shape Geralt into the experienced, guff monster hunter we adore.

Before anyone gets carried away, this isn’t anything to do with The Witcher 4.

Sadly, we still have a long wait ahead of us before CD Projekt Red announces anything in that department.

Speaking of new adventures, we can't wait for The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep

Not that we need it now that we have this Witcher 3 overhaul to keep us busy for the foreseeable future.

The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens is a new addition to The Witcher’s book series.

The paperback edition will become available shortly on 29 November, while the ebook version will launch on 1 December.

To give you a taster of what Geralt will face, here’s a description about the upcoming adventure.

“This time, the master of Polish fantasy takes us back to Geralt's teenage years, a time when he was just beginning his journey as a Witcher,” it reads.

“Armed with two runic swords, Geralt faces countless challenges: battling monsters, rescuing innocent maidens, and aiding lovers [...] Yet, as is often the case, life has a way of testing youthful idealism, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of the world.”

If you’re tempted by this new book, there's a still catch for those of us who can’t read Polish – the English version isn’t out until early 2025.

Despite this disappointing news for some fans, everyone is still seeing the funny side in reading about Geralt as a teenager.

“CD Projekt Red announces: The Witcher 5: Smells Like Teen Spirit,” joked ExotiquePlayboy.

Beyond the occasional quip, fans are simply grateful for some positive news.

“Finally, some good news in this world!” posted glassgwaith.

We must admit, it’s always a happy day when Geralt is involved. Unless you’re a monster he’s hunting, then it’ll be less fun for you.
