Brandon Sanderson Teases a Potential Video Game Adaptation of Mistborn

Throughout an exclusive interview with IGN, Brandon Sanderson has expressed curiosity in doubtlessly adapting his Mistborn guide collection right into a online game, however provided that he can discover the suitable studio to associate with.

Requested if he’d ever given any thought to a online game adaptation of his work, Sanderson stated:

“As a lifelong gamer, suffice it to say that sure, I’ve thought of this rather a lot.

“The important thing would be the proper associate. Video video games, even the smaller indie video games, are enormous investments as of late.

“Mistborn would virtually definitely be the very first thing I might attempt, because the mechanics of the magic and world very naturally lend themselves to such an adaptation – however once more, I might want the suitable associate.”

So it would not sound like we’ll be getting a Mistborn recreation anytime quickly, but it surely’s definitely on the playing cards for the distant future after Sanderson’s current feedback.

This would not be the primary time Mistborn stepped out into different mediums both, with the Mistborn film adaptation in the works after Sanderson just lately completed the screenplay (but also saying there’s “still a lot of work to do”), alongside board video games, and the just lately launched Cosmere RPG tabletop series that is quickly getting a Mistborn expansion in November.

Developed by Brotherwise Games in shut collaboration with Brandon Sanderson himself, the preliminary choices for the Cosmere RPG focus solely on Roshar and the methods of the Stormlight Archive books. Now, Mistborn is becoming a member of the ranks with its Handbook, Marketing campaign Information, and Welcome to Scadriel information that are all out there to preorder now.

It is not a stretch to say that Mistborn might make for an distinctive RPG, akin to one thing like Baldur’s Gate 3. Furthermore, Brotherwise Video games has already completed a lot of the groundwork with its spectacular tabletop adaptation. There’s clearly a lot there that might be constructed upon or tailored right into a online game sooner or later.

For individuals who aren’t accustomed to Mistborn, the Cosmere or Sanderson’s work normally, the Cosmere is a big galaxy-spanning, progressively extra interconnected collection of (principally) epic fantasy novels by Brandon Sanderson. We have now a comprehensive reading guide, so to search out out extra and get a greater image, and I recommend you head there and have a look.
