So you want to know the Inheritance Book 4 release date? Yeah, don’t we all. At the time of writing this, Christopher Paolini has yet to reveal and official release date, or even an unofficial date for that matter.
A while back Christopher Paolini stated that the book will probably be completed between June 2010 and June 2011. So besides that, it is still 100% unknown.
Despite the concrete release date, many fans have their own ideas of when the Inheritance Book 4 release date is:
Some believe that the release date is never and some people think that it will go on sale any day now. If I had to bet money on it myself, I would say It will come out in October. Why? Well, the past books have come out right before the winter holidays, a smart strategy to boost sales. Also, the Inheritance books generally took about 2 years each, and it is rounding up on two years now. So, that is my logic behind the guess of October. It could be a whole year or two, but I am going to go with the tenth month of 2010.
As for when Christopher Paolini will set the release date for the fourth book, we just do not know. I will update this page as soon as there is any news from Chris is available. And if you want to know the second the date is released, enter your email address in the sidebar and you will get an email the moment it is public. As for now, lets have a mini discussion about your thoughts of when book 4 will be released.

I am going to have to disagree, I don’t think Paolini is trying very hard to get book 4 out. The name hasn’t even been released. I would say much much later, like mid next year. Chris is really lagging on the book.
You might be right, but a guy can hope can’t he!
Actually if you look back at all of the books…He has taken 3yrs between all of the books thus far, therefore he will be early if he does get it out by June of this year.
the release date for book 4 is November 8th.
its available for pre-order now
I like the October theory. I’m going to go with that one.
I hope it is October, he said something about a big announcement recently. Who knows, could be any day now.
i dont know its strange that he is taking so long but i hope its any day now
Yeah me too!
I hope it will on 10th,October at 10am
10:10:10 time
and
10/10/2010 date
wat u people think???
10 minutes and ten seconds past 10 o’clock on the 10th of the 10th 2010, cool idea. but yeah i’m sticking with october thing. first of all it in like 1 and a half months time, and second, MY BIRTHDAY IS ON OCTOBER TWENTY-SECOND!!!!! so i can get someone to get for my birthday. YAY!!!!!!!

but yeah, the name hasn’t even come out so (long sigh) it will probably be a while before it comes out.
but we can always hope
I hope that it comes out in October, BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY IS ALSO IN OCTOBER!

I just want the book to come out already! But I can get why he’s waiting to release the book because it’s building suspense which would help boost sales. My most logical guess is that he would release the book in late october early november. If anybody has any in formation on the release date, or has his email address please email me at [email protected]
Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!
Ok scratch my last guess but I think I may have got right this time it’s proably (sorry for spelling or grammer) going to come out anywhere form late January to early July which I’ll say again that’s just to help sails or that it’s taking so long because the book is so good. But I’ll address this issue now he may do the same as he did with the third book decide that it’s too long and create yet another book to sepeculate about or continue the storyline after the fourth book on another website I read he was planning another 6 books he wasn’t sure weather or not he’ll continue the eragon saga.
That i agree with i hope its in january though i am going insane from the wait
i want it as soon as possssssssiiiiibbbbbllllllle
cant be widout eragon
relese it fastest till november
I don’t think it will come out in October, although i really really want it too! He hasn’t even released a name yet (although i’ve heard rumors it is Eldunari, which i hope it isn’t) & if it cam out in October that info would have been everywhere by now
Well, I think it will be any time from now to the christmas holidays. And as for the name of the book he already knows the name he just hasnt realesed it. The reason i think it will be realesed soon its tha i went on shurtugal.com and it said in an interveiw that the book was almost finished.
I’ve read so many websites about book four and the suspence is killing me! I keep thinking about senarioes where Eragon saves the day or what ever, I even had a dream about Saphira and Thorn! Creepy right? Personally I think it’ll come out in March 2011, but I can’t be sure. I just hope he won’t split this one cause if i have to go through this again, I’ll just about die! I really am Eragon-crazy!
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. They haven’t released the title, cover, or release date at all yet. Probably not going to be in the next two months… probably not going to be in the next 6, for that matter. I’d shoot for a fall release to be safe. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
well even though it stinks waiting for it to come out we can know for sure that its gonna be AWSOME since he’s spending so much time on it haha
I just can’t wait
i just can’t wait for the release of the 4th book…!! it’s the 7th of October..!! and still no date and the official name of the book… well iam eager to get my hands on it as soon as it is released cuz it’s been years … iam afraid i might not lose interest in it… i hope it comes out soon….
well it’s now mid-October and no more sign or hint even as to when this book will FINALLY be released or even named. He is a great writer but taking his sweet time for this one. lol
It’s unfair to say that chris is lagging on the book. I adore the books of inheritence and so do my friends. Nut it takes a lot to write a book. I’m happy to wait because it’ll make it all the better when it comes out.
Well, Oct….over, Nov…..Over. Maybe Oct. Nov. next year. Sorry about sarcasm, but I’m hating the waiting. Hope it comes out soon and just one more book, not two.
I hate waiting. If I had the power, I would choke hold publishers till he released the book… He’s one of the most talented and truly fantastic authors I’ve had the privilege of reading – I read him more than Tolkien. If he could just solve this, I have to wait 2 murdered jaba years to find out what happens next thing…Knock Knock! Who’s there? Wait two years and hope to find out. I’d end it all if I wasn’t faced by an eternity of not getting to read this book. Great fan base. If he goes much longer, we’ll riot.
It’s DECEMBER, October is OVER, people! I’m so angry at CP!
Seeing as how he’s said in interviews that he right near the end now, how was is ever going to come out in October this year. Probably more like October NEXT year. Don’t be mad at him. He’s trying to write you a good book. Be mad at the publisher because even when he’s done, they’re gonna hold its production back until they can get the most money for it.
I hope it comes out in July, becuase then I can buy Forever, [from another series] The fourth book ,and watch the third Transformers movie all in one month!
Every time I look at my incomplete set of inheritance books…I cry. This is worse than waiting for the end of the world, if I actually believed in the “world ending in 2012″ crap and only had a year to live. The only way I can keep myself sane is to reread the books like twice a year!!!!
well october is gone… like 2 months ago haha maybe next october?
judging by the size of brisingr this next book will be pretty hefty and its the last one so it wont be rushed. since theres beek no official reveal of a name or cover or release date, its likely we’ve got at least another 6 months to wait. which is a bummer…

k, soo this really sucks because it is after christmas and i have yet to read that book…lets gooo already!
I too, wait, not so patiently for book 4. My biggest fear is that he has done what so MANY writers have done. . .get bored with the story and just through something at the readers. Please make it worth the wait and give us a wonderful, suspenseful book 4!
I am going to be 69 yrs old this year and I hope to hell I get to finish this series or I’ll really be ticked off. The books are great. The movie..okay. I was hoping they would do movies for the next three, but by the time the 4th one comes out, I’ll probably be dead. I’ll come back and haunt him for you.
Wow, 69? I love that people can continue loving the stuff that is considered “childish” well into adulthood. I know I will be the same way. Welcome to the community, TM.
Thnx. Hope the November date is correct this time. Can hardly wait. I’ve read the first three at least 4 times each. On last one now and hope the brain cells are still working so I can remember how book 3 ended. YAY!!
Ok If we have 2 wait long it SHULD be the best book of all
Idon’t know when but I hope its soon.
this is a bummer i think i would shoot Chris right now if i wasn’t so crazy with knowing how it ends.
I would like to think it will be released very soon, but something tells me we may be waiting on a book that will never come. I would LOVE to know how everything ends, but I’m starting to get used to disappointment. C’mon Chris…let’s get ‘er done!
My son has had to read the three books over and over again waiting for the next. He keeps asking me when we can buy the fourth book.
Hurry up!
yeah i am going through the same thing. I have read these books to my infant daughter since she was in the womb (so she could get used to my voice and know me) i read all 3 to her over and over, and yet over again each time i admit i glean more insight, more ideas, more enjoyment over all. That said my daughter is now 4 years old and is asking me when we can “Finish” the story Saphira and Eragong papa read Eragong! It would be great to read it to her soon before she goes off to college would be fantastic. however too much longer and she can, and will, read this book on her own.
lets go publishing company at least tantalize us with a release date and picture of cover…maybe a sprinkling of the title?! I know they want maximum profits but come on, too much longer and those who arent great fans as we are will start to go wayward growing disinterested and that will hamper your profits lets go come on. Lets end this cycle for good or for better!
Hey Jeb, and anyone else who hasn’t read about it yet. Random House relased the info already. The Title is “Inheritance” (I know, I have problems with the title, too, but it’s the contents that count.). The Release Date is November 8th, 2011. And if you wanna see the cover, it’s the one with the “Pre-order” banner across it at the top of the page.
so anyone remember whom that pre-order banner at the top was through i cannot remember whom it was with. borders, barnes and noble etc… i did a preorder and i have no confirmation on it that I can find. any helpful Ideas? thanks!
Not a clue, Jeb. Sorry.
It’s time already CP. Get your act together and get the darn book done. I’ve read the first three about 4 times each and am definitely ready for the 4th. Don’t make this little old lady come out to Wyoming, Utah, where ever the hell you are and smack you up side the head. FINISH THE BOOK!!
Oddly enough, my sister and I each got the other the 3 book set for Christmas. Who would’ve thought…. Anyway, we never had all this waiting game with Anne McAfferey’s (sp?) dragon rider books…. I’d be willing to bet that the 4th book is done and Random House is delaying the publishing, in pursuit of more money. I don’t think CP would do this to his fans. Oh, and by the way… I’m 44 years old.
I am 65 years old and am worried that I might not live to see book 4. Not that I’m sick I just want to hurry Christopher along. I am now into reading the trilegy again so that I will be ready for book for.
COME ON CHRIS.
The length of the wait is getting a bit ridiculous. Remember that he was already on his way with book 4 while writing book 3. With the lack of news coming through, it is starting to make me think he’s nut cut out to be an author. Could it be that he was merely a lucky kid who happened on a marketable concept and relies on too many others to get a decent book out? Just playing the devil’s advocate here.
Pat, 2 to 3 years between 800+ page novels is not unusual at all. Unless you’re an avid fan of shit pile, thrown-together-in-6-month bokks then lay off of him. He’s stated just a mont or two ago that he was almost done. The lack of information on the release is not his fault, but the publishers’. They wanna keep up suspense until the book is ready so that people don’t lose interest. And, as pissed as many people seem to be on here about the books not being out yet, they are certainly interested, so… It’s good marketing, though I hate ever second of it as much as you all do.
well… lets see…. it is now feb. 2, 2011 and he STILL hasnt released the name or release date. im thinking it’ll be safe to say the book wont be coming out til near or past june 2011. >:(
Yeah, everyone making guesses in the dark about when the book will come out are just practicing wishful thinking. I wouldn’t guess anytime before this fall. And, btw, it is not he who is waiting to release the title, cover, and release date. The publisher reserves the right to release those when they please.
I heard from quite a few book stores that the title/book will be release sometime within the next few months. I’v read the series 4 times now. I’m depressed waiting for this 4th book to come out. This is by far my favorite trilogy I have ever read.
C’mon Chris! We’re all waiting on ya!
did you know that in an interveiw (i don’t remeber which one) that the book would come out in between July 2010 & July 2011. right now it is February 27th and it is not out yet so it will come out between now and July,and it will most likely come out in April though i wish it would come out in March. anyway you shouldn’t blame CP, it isn’t his fault it is the publisher. bye now
opps i meant to say “did you know that in an interveiw (i don’t remember which one) that CP said” sorry
It kinda seems like he’s doing the smart thing, but (as you know) I am a book nerd. It’s like crack to me! I need it now!
P.S. Not rushing you CP, just speaking my mind. I has been YEARS and I really do love your series. You’ll do great!
My goodness, it has been years since the last book. I’m getting really tired of waiting for the last one. I’ve read the first three at least 4 times each and would love to finish this series.
COME ON CP OR EDITORS! LET’S”GIT ER DONE” as Larry the Cable Guy says. I’m starting to get REALLY TICKED OFF NOW.. DON’T TICK OFF AND OLD LADY!
i hope paoline will released ot soon, so that i complete my collection, well, i have already completed the Harry Potter
They should sut it out for sale NOW!!!
Before 2012………..O~e….not that I care……?
BUT I WANT TO READ IT SO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HURRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Random House released the Official Title, Cover and Release Date (in US, UK, Canada, Australia, & New Zealand)
Official Title: Inheritance
Official Cover: http://shurtugal.com/book-4/inheritance-book-4-of-the-inheritance-cycle-full-cover/
Official Release Date: November 8, 2011!!!!!
Even though I was wrong about the title, I am really glad to finally know for sure. I can’t wait ’til November!!! Enjoy everybody!
I CANT WAITTTTT!!!! 6 more months of waiting!!! i read the first 3 books in 2 weeks they were so gooodddd!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HURRRY
I’m just as pumped as the next person for the release of the last book. He took four years inbetween the others though so, even though Paloni said he already had alot of the material for the last book, it still would make sense that it will take at least 4 yrs. BUT seriously peeps stop getting annoyed at how long it’s taking! personally I’d rather a cracker of a read that even the slightest bit of rushed writing in this greatest finalie! Wouldn’t you?!?
I am exited that it is coming out so soon now. . . I havebenn waiting forever . Lol haven’t we all… I started readind the cylce like a month after brisingr was released and i was like “yay i won’t have to wait long till the last one” boy was i wrong. Lol
