Summary
- Andrzej Sapkowski's new Witcher novel finally puts to bed the mystery of how old Geralt is.
- Turns out, he was born in 1211, which would make him 61 by the time of The Witcher 3.
Geralt's age has long been a mystery, with only a handful of clues across the books and games. The closest we had to an answer up until now is when Vesemir said in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3 that he's "nearly a century old".
We know that the mutations make Witchers age slower, so with Vesemir's comments, fans often speculated that he was in his 90s (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:our own list put him at 97).
But after 30 years, series creator and author Andrzej Sapkowski has finally given us a concrete answer 168澳洲𓆏幸运5开奖网:in his new boo🌜k, Crossroads of the Crows.
How Old Is Geralt Then?
As reported by , this novel takes place in 1229, followin🔯g an 18-year-old Geralt. Thﷺat means he was born in 1211.
So, at the end of the books (set in 1268), Geralt would be 57, and in The Witcher🌃 3, he'd be 61. Granted, he still looks good for his ageಞ.
Yennefer was born in 1174, so she'd be 98 in The Witcher 3. Jaskier/Dandelion, for comparison, is 44♛.
Sapowski has said in the past that Geralt is at least ove൲r 50, so it's clear 🐓that he's been sitting on this revelation for some time.
CD Projekt Red was also coy about his age throughout the games, only ever giving us a few vague references. But these can easily be reconciled to fit with Sapowski's new novel — Vesemir was ♏just making fun of Geralt for getting old.
However, the Netflix series is harder to excuse. It was way off the mark, with a 106 year old Geralt by the time of Season 3. In reality, he'd be around 56, a whole half a centu෴ry younger!
