Anticipated Publication Date for George R.R. Martin's Book "The Winds of Winter"
Sick of the four-year stretch of waiting for George R.R. Martin to deliver the next installment in the Song of Ice and Fire series? Well, rejoice, Game of Thrones devotees! It seems like the drought may finally be ending, with a Spanish publisher planning to release The Winds of Winter in 2016, according to an editor with a personal connection to the author.
In a recent interview on El món a RAC1 radio station, Alejo Cuervo shared tidings of a potential 2016 release. Though the book will likely be published in English first, the Spanish version is expected to follow closely behind, with Ediciones Gigamesh receiving the manuscript before the English edition hits the shelves. Cuervo candidly admitted, "It won't be a big difference (between the two dates)," but firmly stated that fans can expect the sixth book in the epic A Song of Ice and Fire series in 2016.
To add further excitement, Game of Thrones series 6 has already begun production and is expected to air in the spring of 2016. With the book and show both on the horizon, it's shaping up to be a banner year for Thrones loyalists.
However, as of May 2025, there remains no official release date for The Winds of Winter. George R.R. Martin has continued to confront ongoing delays, with recent updates confirming that the book remains unfinished[1][2]. As fans, we must brace ourselves for continued uncertainty until Martin officially confirms the completion of this highly-anticipated sixth book.
The Spanish publisher, Ediciones Gigamesh, is expected to release a translated version of The Winds of Winter shortly after its English counterpart in 2016, as revealed by Alejo Cuervo during a radio interview. In the realm of entertainment, movies-and-tv enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the airing of Game of Thrones series 6, which is currently in production and set to debut in the spring of 2016, alongside the potential arrival of the sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Yet, it's crucial to note that, as of May 2025, there is still no official release date for The Winds of Winter, with George R.R. Martin continuing to grapple with ongoing delays in completing the highly-anticipated sixth Targaryen tale.
