The Witcher: Corvo Bianco Comic Is a Direct Sequel to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
ign.comSpoiler Warning: The following article contains spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its Blood and WIne expansion.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a direct sequel in the form of a Dark Horse comic book called The Witcher: Corvo Bianco.
Revealed on Dark Horse's website, the Corvo Bianco name will be familiar to those who played the Blood and Wine expansion, which took players to Toussaint and rewarded protagonist Geralt of Rivia with his own vineyard.
That vineyard was called Corvo Bianco, and while Geralt retired there with his beloved Yennefer (or Triss), the comic will see that lush life uprooted as he must return to the rugged life of a witcher once more.
"For a witcher, the simple life can be hard to come by, and even harder to pass up," the official synopsis said. "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 first issue of the five part comic will arrive on May 8, 2024, three months after the current comic run, The Witcher: Wild Animals will end. It's written by Bartosz Sztybor with art from Corrado Mastantuono. Corvo Bianco will be the ninth comic released by Dark Horse that tells a fresh story within CD Projekt Red's canonical Witcher universe.
Another game is coming too, though what's essentially The Witcher 4 but codenamed Polaris will not follow Geralt and instead tell a new story.
