Brandon Sanderson Sets July Return to Writing Mistborn Era 3 After Hollywood Detour
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Author Brandon Sanderson plans to resume writing the Mistborn Era 3 book Ghostbloods in July after focusing on Apple TV screenplays and other adaptations, keeping his December 2028 release target on track.
Fantasy author Brandon Sanderson is pausing his current Hollywood obligations to jump back into prose. In a recent update on his YouTube channel, reported by IGN South Africa, Sanderson confirmed he will resume work on the next Mistborn Era 3 book, titled Ghostbloods, this coming July. Sanderson has spent recent months heavily involved in external media projects, including the Mistborn screenplay adaptation for Apple TV and board game collaborations, alongside his regular weekly podcast and community updates.
While the detour kept him away from novel writing, Sanderson assured readers that his current publishing timeline remains on track. Ghostbloods is currently scheduled for a December 2028 release, meaning the manuscript needs to land with his publishing team by December 2026. With roughly seven months before that revision deadline kicks in, Sanderson noted that the schedule is not yet in an emergency phase, despite his intensive focus on film and television over the last few months.
For readers and gaming fans who track transmedia storytelling across screens and physical tabletops, Sanderson's busy slate highlights just how demanding major franchise adaptations can be. As the author balances screenplays, board games, and his expansive literary universes, the countdown is officially on for his return to Scadrial this July.
