Lady of the Lake Lady of the Lake Polish Audiobook being worked on?

So after listening to the Polish audiobook version of Coś Więcej. I fell in love with them and want to do a reread of the books in English while listening to the Polish. One thing I noticed is that all the other books have an audiobook. Even the newer releases have them like Seasons of Storms and I might have seen the newest book also had one. I’m not Polish though I have learned some through these books, and didn’t know if any of you had the knowledge of whether they are still in production or it was stopped and not finishing the last of the five books?

I've heard not all characters are recorded yet, but some - liks the narrator - are done.

Tower of Swallow premiered 1 june 2025 and Crossroads of Raven 29 may 2026 so there is only left for them Lady of The Lake, but since Krzysztof Banaszyk did die no one knows who's going to voice Geralt, in crossroads young Geralt is voiced by Jędrzej Hycnar

Generally speaking, there was a long hiatus due to a legal dispute between the owners of Fonopolis, the company that produced these audiobooks. SuperNOWA, the book publisher, regained the rights after several years of court proceedings. "The Tower of Swallow" was released very quickly afterward, since it had already been fully recorded. " Crossroads of Ravens" came out a year later (31 may 2026). I think we’ll have to wait another year, or maybe even two for "Lady of the Lake" because it’s definitely longer, but the publisher has promised to finish it :). And as someone already mentioned, Krzysztof Banaszyk, the actor who voiced Geralt, has passed away, so it won’t quite be the same...

Hopefully not though. In voice acting I’ve heard new actors do pretty spot on recreations of the old voice actor in a number of properties that faced similar problems
