New Game of Thrones Illustrated Edition Set for November Release

George R.R. Martin recently delighted fans with a new update, but not about the eagerly awaited *The Winds of Winter*. Instead, he unveiled the cover for the upcoming illustrated edition of *A Feast for Crows*, the fourth book in the *A Song of Ice and Fire* series. This special edition, featuring artwork by Jeffrey R. McDonald, is scheduled for release on November 4, 2025. You can pre-order this exquisite edition from leading online bookstores such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

This news is particularly exciting for collectors of the illustrated editions. The last illustrated book, *A Storm of Swords*, was released back in November 2020, marking a five-year gap since the previous edition. In addition to Jeffrey R. McDonald's illustrations, the new edition of *A Feast for Crows* will include a foreword by Joe Abercrombie. Fans can look forward to a sneak peek of the interior illustrations this spring, ahead of the book's release. If you're new to the series and wish to start your collection, the first three illustrated editions are already available.

For those still holding out for *The Winds of Winter*, the wait continues. The last update from Martin on this front came in a December 2024 interview, where he suggested that he might not finish the book in his lifetime. This follows his November 2023 statement that he had already written 1,100 pages. While this news might disappoint fans who've waited nearly 14 years, there remains hope that the series will be completed by someone else. With the fourth illustrated edition on its way, it seems likely that the first five special editions will be completed before *The Winds of Winter* sees the light of day.
