Geralt Age in The Witcher 3

Aging gracefully is easy, they say. Just make sure to eat healthy, stay hydrated, get some exercise, and do things that make you happy.

Doctors have yet to confirm whether slaying dangerous monsters and dunking potions like they’re going out of fashion counts as healthy living, but it is certainly good for your skin if to believe The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski.

The revelation of Geralt’s age is buried in Sapkowski’s latest novel, Rozdroże Kruków. The book has yet to be released in English, but unofficial community translations have stuck to variations of the literal title, such as Raven’s Crossing.

This new information throws a curveball toward Netflix, as the company works on the final two seasons of The Witcher show.

Actor Henry Cavill did a brilliant work as Geralt in the first three seasons of the show but passed the sword onto Liam Hemsworth. The last two seasons cover the books Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake.

Hemsworth is only 34 years old, and though the producers had no idea Sapkowski would put this info in the book later, it makes for funny viewing watching Geralt played by someone young enough to be his son.

How Old Is Geralt in The Witcher?

It took Sapkowski 24 years from the release of the first book of The Witcher stories, but he finally revealed that Geralt of Rivia was born in 1211.

In the videogame adaptations by CD Projekt Red, Geralt is 59 years old in the first The Witcher game, released in 2007.

This puts our white-haired hero at a respectable 61 during The Witcher 3, by far the most popular entry in the series.

In Geralt’s last appearance in The Witcher saga, the Blood and Wine expansion released in 2016, he is 64 years old.

CD Projekt Red is working on The Witcher 4, a story told through the perspective of Ciri, now working as a witcher too. The Polish game development company has yet to reveal a release date, but it has confirmed that Geralt will appear in the new game.

Although the year The Witcher 4 is set in is not public, we will see an even older Geralt, flexing the fruits of his impeccable skincare routine.
