CD Projekt's The Witcher franchise
From Witcher Wiki
CD Projekt's The Witcher franchise is a series of games and upcoming graphic novels created by or based on a license from CD Projekt RED, the makers of The Witcher computer game. Unlike all previous adaptations of Andrzej Sapkowski's works, products in CD Projekt's The Witcher-franchise, aside from being mostly faithful to Sapkowki's books, are set in a common continuity and are graphically consistent with each other.

[edit] Graphic novels
Currently, CD Projekt is preparing a new graphic novel series, based on the three most important short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski: Kwestia ceny (A Matter of Price), Miecz przeznaczenia (Sword of Destiny) and Coś więcej (Something More), as well as the five novels in the Witcher Saga. While the graphic novels are being written by Maciej Parowski, who wrote the previous series of Witcher comics in the early 1990s, they are going to be graphically consistent with CD Projekt's franchise, not with the previous comics.
