There's a New Game of Thrones Illustrated Edition Coming in November, but Still No Winds of Winter

George R.R. Martin recently announced the upcoming illustrated edition of A Feast for Crows, the fourth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series to receive this treatment. Illustrated by Jeffrey R. McDonald, the book is slated for release on November 4, 2025. Pre-orders are available through major online retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

The Winds of Winter Update (or Lack Thereof):

While this news is exciting for fans of the illustrated editions, there's still no concrete release date for The Winds of Winter. Martin's December 2024 interview hinted at the possibility of never completing the series, despite having already written 1,100 pages (as of November 2023). It seems likely that the illustrated editions of the first five books will be completed before The Winds of Winter sees publication.
