‘The Winds Of Winter’ Release Date, News & Update: Is George R.R. Martin More Committed Now To Sixth ‘ASOIF' Book Launch?

"The Winds Of Winter" (TWOW), the sixth "A Song Of Ice And Fire" (ASOIF) book by George R.R. Martin, gets renewed exposure from the "Game Of Thrones" iBook edition from Apple. The "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" with the "The Winds Of Winter" preview is part of the 20th anniversary marker for the first "ASOIF" book.

"Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" is generating buzz other than the inclusion of "The Winds Of Winter" excerpt. The digital experience of "ASOIF" readers with the "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" is interactive, making events and character tracking all the way to "The Winds Of Winter" much easier as Deadline reports

Parent Herald cites Winter Is Coming in reporting that Redditor Confused Shelf similarly targeted the same goal with a spreadsheet of "ASOIF" characters. "ASOIF" books one to five - "A Clash Of Kings," "A Storm Of Swords," "A Feast For Crows" and " A Dance With Dragons" - will also be available in Enhanced Edition in next months.

The happier news is that George R.R. Martin and his publishers allowing "The Winds Of Winter" preview to be included in the 20th anniversary "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" should dispel "TWOW" fan fears. Nothing indicates commitment to deliver "The Winds Of Winter" more strongly than a "TWOW" preview inclusion in a milestone marker as the "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition."

The Verge reports that"The Winds Of Winter" excerpt included in the "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" is a chapter on Theon Greyjoy. According to the media outlet, "TWOW" fans unable to avail of the "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" will still be able to see the Theon Greyjoy material on Reddit.

According to Newsweek "The Winds Of Winter" is the longest "ASOIF" book yet from George R.R. Martin. Considering this, and given that "A Dance Of Dragons" took six years to produce, George R.R. Martin would be within reason with a 2017 or 2018 "The Winds Of Winter" release date.

At the moment, "TWOW" hopefuls anticipate "The Winds Of Winter" announcements to happen before "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 airs on HBO. Are you grabbing a copy of the "Game Of Thrones: Enhanced Edition" and its touted "The Winds Of Winter" sneak peek?
