On a new livestream Thursday, Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski said that he’s working on another book in the series, which would be the first one in a decade.

The livestream was an interview with Sapkowski and Ukrainian fans organized by Fantastic Talk(s). Sapkowski’s comments on the stream, as translated by Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, reveal that he’s been hard at work on the new story for some time now.

“Yes, I’m working on a new Witcher book and quite diligently,” Sapkowski said.

The good news is, the book doesn’t seem far away. Sapkowski seemed optimistic about the timing, saying that “it may take a year, but no longer.”

What does have to do with what i was saying? i dont understand, i enjoyed all the books(which are pretty good and the reason the games are good) but the last one which was a prequel wasnt that good compared to the previous ones.

My point is that the author has apparently been growing bitter about the financial success of the spin-offs over his book series, and that this could be affecting the quality of his writing. So it's no surprise the last book wasn't as good, but maybe not because it was a prequel.
