Without the Witcher novels by Andrezj Sapkowski, there wold be no hit series on Netlflix or even the video games that revitalized the property a decade ago. According to Sapkowski, he's happy with his arrangements with CD Projekt Red, even though the devs don't ask him many questions anymore.While promoting his latest novel (via GamesRadar), Sapkowski noted that CD Projekt Red used to approach him about additional info about the characters and the world he created. Now, he says it's "so rare" for CD Projekt Red to ask him any advice.When Sapkowski originally signed withe CD Projekt Red to let them adapt his novels, he took an upfront payment instead of royalties. Sapkowski subsequently sued the developer to get a better deal after the blockbuster success of The Witcher 3. Terms weren't disclosed, but the case was settled. Now, Sapokowski describes his relationship with the devs in more glowing terms."The contracts between me and the game people are excellent right now," said Sapokowski. "Let's hope it stays that way."Netflix recently debuted The Witcher Season 4, which will have a fifth and final season to wrap up the show. Meanwhile CD Projekt Red put The Witcher 4 into active development last year. The game was featured at Epic's State of Unreal event, and it looked impressive. However, the developers subsequently described the demo as a technical demonstration, rather than a preview of the game itself, which doesn't currently have a release date. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is also expected to get one final patch in 2026 that will enable mod access on consoles.
