The world of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt still has plenty of tales to tell, that's why CD Projekt Red has once again teamed up with Dark Horse to release a new comic book series. It's officially titled The Witcher: Fading Memories. It is the first issue (of four) and is due out on 17th June 2020. It's being written by Bartosz Sztybor, drawn by Amad Mir and the cover artwork of the first issue has been done by Evan Cagle.
Here's the official description, to help set the scene:
Geralt has become impoverished and dejected since monster threats have seemingly vanished. Times have always been hard for Witchers—but without continual work, his situation has worsened. As Geralt explores new possibilities for his life path, he receives a request from the Mayor of Towitz, a small town where children are being kidnapped by Foglets…but something feels off about this new threat.

It'll be interesting to see Geralt portrayed in comic book form. Dark Horse is my favorite publisher of comics (Umbrella Academy and Hellboy are my favorites) and I'm looking forward to see how they adapt the storyline into a comic format. Hopefully, it will be better than the Mass Effect comic adaptations...
@Static_Fanatic Dark Horse have already published two Witcher comics - Omnibus and Of Flesh and Flame. I haven't read them myself, but if you're interested, they might be worth a look!
That artwork is amazing.
The style of that artwork reminds me of the Final Fantasy VI artwork. Not sure the style suits the Witcher, but I haven’t seen other artwork so it may follow that.
@Matthew010 I didn't know that! Thank you! I'll definitely check them out!
