The excellent Blood and Wine expansion gave Geralt of Rivia a perfect ending, but a new story set after the events of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming…in comic book form.

Newsarama ( thanks, GamesRadar ) shared the surprising news, which dropped shortly after CD Projekt Red confirmed the next Witcher game is entering full production this year .

The comic book miniseries from Dark Horse Comics is to be penned by Bartosz Sztybor ( The Witcher: Wild Animals ) and drawn by Corrado Mastantuono. On top of those two big names, the series is being coloured by Matteo Vattani and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.

So what’s Geralt up to after seemingly retiring with Yennefer (or Triss if you chose that non-canonical path)? The official synopsis provided by Dark Horse reads as follows:

“For a witcher, the simple life can be hard to come by, and even harder to pass up. When Geralt acquires a taste for a slower pace - good wine, and good company - the routines of a witcher are easily eclipsed. With Yennefer at his side, one might hope that Geralt will truly get to enjoy a taste of the good life. But the stains of history are deep, and with blood and wine, every drop attracts those who want more.”

The variant covers for The Witcher : Corvo Bianco #1, which is releasing on May 8, tease vampire-like enemies or something similar, which would make sense given Blood and Wine’s main plot.

Mind you, this is more of an epilogue for the character, a fun side adventure that likely won’t alter his retirement plans. That said, we won’t be surprised if he shows up again in CDPR’s upcoming fantasy action-adventure RPG, even if it’;s just for a neat little cameo.
