Andrzej Sapkowski Reveals Geralt's True Age, Much to the Surprise of The Witcher Fans
The world of The Witcher was recently expanded with a new book by the author, which not only expanded the universe, but also shed light on mysterious details of the biography of its main character. In particular, the writer officially revealed Geralt's age for the first time, which was an unexpected discovery for fans.
Previously, the witcher's age remained vague. It was only known that Geralt was over 50 years old, but no one specified how much "over". CD Projekt RED games and other adaptations filled this gap with their own assumptions: for example, in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Vesemir hints that Geralt is "almost 100 years old". However, Sapkowski's new novel Raven's Crossing finally put an end to this issue. According to the author, Geralt was born in 1211. Thus, during the events of the Wild Hunt, the hero is 61 years old. Yennefer, whose birth dates back to 1173, was 99 years old at the time.
The new information about her age is not the only thing that surprised fans with Sapkowski. The book officially mentions the Witcher school of the Viper, which previously only appeared in CD Projekt RED games. Now this school has become part of the literary canon.
These revelations caused a strong reaction in the fan community. Many noted that Sapkowski continues to find ways to revive the Witcher universe, even years after the end of the main saga.
