Throughout an exclusive interview with IGN, Brandon Sanderson has expressed curiosity in doubtlessly adapting his Mistborn e-book sequence right into a online game, however provided that he can discover the best studio to associate with.
Requested if he’d ever given any thought to a online game adaptation of his work, Sanderson mentioned:
“As a lifelong gamer, suffice it to say that sure, I’ve considered this quite a bit.
“The important thing would be the proper associate. Video video games, even the smaller indie video games, are big investments today.
“Mistborn would nearly definitely be the very first thing I might strive, because the mechanics of the magic and world very naturally lend themselves to such an adaptation – however once more, I might want the best associate.”
So it would not sound like we’ll be getting a Mistborn sport anytime quickly, but it surely’s definitely on the playing cards for the distant future after Sanderson’s latest 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 not too long ago completed the screenplay (but also saying there’s “still a lot of work to do”), alongside board video games, and the not too long ago 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 accessible to preorder now.
It isn’t 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 carried out a lot of the groundwork with its spectacular tabletop adaptation. There’s clearly lots there that may very well 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 generally, the Cosmere is a big galaxy-spanning, progressively extra interconnected sequence of (largely) epic fantasy novels by Brandon Sanderson. We have now a comprehensive reading guide, so to seek out out extra and get a greater image, and I counsel you head there and have a look.
