The Witcher Universe Expands with Blood Stone #2
Fans hungry for more adventures from the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are in for a treat this month, as Geralt of Rivia takes center stage in the official comic sequel: The Witcher: Blood Stone #2. This highly-anticipated issue arrives courtesy of the creative collaboration between CD Projekt Red and acclaimed publisher Dark Horse Comics, building on the first chapter’s chilling atmosphere and narrative ambition.
Geralt’s New Chapter: What Awaits in Blood Stone #2
For those following Geralt’s journey beyond the video games, Blood Stone delivers exactly the blend of dark fantasy and sharp characterization that has made this franchise legendary. The story picks up after Geralt’s treacherous trek through haunted dwarven mines—a brilliant nod to classic dungeon crawling—and shifts focus to the enigmatic town of Plinth. Here, Geralt’s investigation unravels mysteries, promising both seasoned fans and newcomers a fresh slice of monster-hunting intrigue.
The creative minds pushing this narrative forward are writer Daniel Freedman and artist Pius Bak. Their vision ensures every page is dense with detail, from brooding landscapes to tense action sequences. Each issue of Blood Stone is designed for readers 16+, reflecting the mature themes and visceral horror long associated with The Witcher’s most memorable quests.
Release Dates, Format and Pricing
The Witcher: Blood Stone #2 is available at local comic stores and select online retailers beginning March 11, priced at around $5. Each issue is a 32-page illustrated journey, packed with atmospheric art and storytelling worthy of the series’ reputation. If you missed the first issue, it’s still available in stores, giving you the perfect chance to catch up before diving deeper into Geralt’s latest case.
The story arc will continue with subsequent issues: Issue #3 is set for release on April 15, followed by Issue #4 on May 13—both of which will further explore the arcane mysteries and treacherous landscapes that fans have come to expect. Later this year, a complete volume collecting all four issues will be published, making it an ideal collector’s edition for fans, both digital and traditional. This full-volume release is planned to feature over 100 pages, set at an accessible price point for readers who want the complete story in one sitting.
