The Witcher series, based on the fantasy novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski, can never be considered an alternate version or sequel of the written work of which they are adapted from, Sapkowski told Eurogamer.

According to Sapkowski, while developer CD Project Red drew from the literary works, the video game adaptations are in the end a "free adaptation" simply containing elements of the novels and are neither a prequel nor a sequel to the stories.

"The game — with all due respect to it, but let's finally say it openly — is not an 'alternative version', nor a sequel. The game is a free adaptation containing elements of my work; an adaptation created by different authors," said Sapkowski.

"Adaptations — although they can in a way relate to the story told in the books — can never aspire to the role of a follow-up. They can never add prologues nor prequels, let alone epilogues and sequels.

"Maybe it's time to set the matters straight," he added. "The Witcher is a well made video game, its success is well deserved and the creators deserve all the splendour and honour due. But in no way can it be considered to be an 'alternative version', nor a 'sequel' to the Witcher Geralt stories. Because this can only be told by Geralt's creator. A certain Andrzej Sapkowski."

Sapkowski stated video games are "far beyond" his sphere of interest, explaining he has never played one due to the "the fact that some types of games seem to lack any story whatsoever." He added that future novels in the Witcher series will not be influenced by the narrative offered in its video game sibling.

"I will definitely skip any 'alternative ideas'," Sapkowski said. "It'll come easily to me anyway, as I don't know any of them. And even if I knew, it would be funny and silly were I to write based on the game's suggestions. I suppose I have made myself clear when I said that I will never accept any ideas and concepts of 'complementarity plots' and 'building coherent stories.' A story can only be contained in a book."

The original Witcher video game launched for PC in 2007. A sequel, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, was brought to PC in 2011, followed by an Xbox 360 release a year later. The sequel was made available for Mac users last month.

All Sapkowski actually saw of The Witcher video games was artwork, he revealed, but said it was "a sight to behold". His role was therefore "not enough to call it cooperation". "I don't feel like a co-author of the game," he said, so all plaudits must be directed at CDPR.
"If we level the field between books and their adaptations in other media, only the former can be the ones telling a story," he stated. "There can never be a different relation between a book and its adaptation, other than the one that without the book the adaptation would not exist at all.

"Of course I don't want to diminish the role of the video game, it is obvious that it had a positive impact on the interest of foreign publications and the number of translations. A lot of gamers, of course, have only gained interest in the books because they liked the games. Otherwise, they would have never read it.

"It is also important to note that there is a negative aspect, damages if you like, that I bear because of the game," he went on, "but neither the game or, God forbid, its creators can, of course, be blamed for such state. Some foreign publishers are doing me a disservice by painting my books with artwork borrowed from the games, and including game advertisements and game related blurbs inside.

"Though I praised the knowledge and familiarity of fantasy readers, there are some among them who have less of it. Sometimes, by looking at the covers, they reject books as game novelizations, products secondary to the game."
