It was announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will have a sequel in comic book format by Dark Horse.

The new five-issue story is called The Witcher: Corvo Bianco and will be produced by Dark Horse in collaboration with CD Projekt Red. Corvo Bianco is written by Bartosz Sztybor and drawn by Corrado Mastantuono.

"For all who know Geralt, Corvo Bianco is his endgame," said writer Bartosz Sztybor in a statement about the new comic. "The end of his journey, one and only place where he can retire - taking a break from killing monsters and trying to figure out how to make his own wine. As a fan of pop-culture and postmodern genre mixing, that setup above sounded like a perfect premise for a western. A western in The Witcher world - that's something that was never done before! So I quickly got excited and thought about getting on board someone who really knows what western is. Corrado Mastantuono is a comic book legend, one of the biggest names of all time, a person that created the most important titles in European comics, including a real western classic - Tex. With him mixing fantasy and western was never easier and more beautiful. Geralt roaming the Continent with a wild bunch of mages, Elves and Dwarves is my homage to Andrzej Sapkowski, Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone. Just imagine, Yennefer having a duel with another mage and Geralt attacking a stagecoach. Corvo Bianco was his dream, but he needs to fight for it!"
