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

by Jason Mar 06,2025

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 book retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

A Feast for Crows: The Illustrated Edition

This release marks five years since the last illustrated edition (A Storm of Swords) was published in November 2020. The new edition will also include a foreword by Joe Abercrombie, and a preview of interior illustrations is promised later this spring. The first three illustrated books in the series are currently available for purchase.

The Winds of Winter: Still on the Horizon?

While this news is exciting for fans of the illustrated editions, the long-awaited The Winds of Winter remains elusive. Martin's December 2024 interview hinted at the possibility of never completing the series, despite having already written 1,100 pages (as confirmed in November 2023). While disappointing, the completion of the first five illustrated editions before The Winds of Winter suggests a significant focus on other projects.
