Brandon Sanderson Wants a Mistborn Video Game, But He Is Waiting for the Right Studio
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Author Brandon Sanderson wants to adapt his Mistborn series into a video game, but he is waiting to find the right studio partner before moving forward.
Acclaimed fantasy author Brandon Sanderson recently shared in an exclusive interview with IGN that he is eager to adapt his Mistborn book series into a video game. As a self-described lifelong gamer, Sanderson noted that he has spent a lot of time thinking about interactive adaptations. He emphasized that the project hinges entirely on finding the right studio partner, pointing out that modern game development requires massive resource investments even at the indie level. While a digital adaptation is not entering production immediately, Sanderson believes the unique systems of his universe translate naturally to game mechanics.
This interest in interactive media arrives alongside a busy period for the broader Cosmere franchise. Brotherwise Games recently launched tabletop offerings for the Stormlight Archive, and a dedicated Mistborn expansion is already up for preorder following collaboration with the author. Between the tabletop space and a completed screenplay for a planned Mistborn film adaptation, the universe is steadily expanding across different entertainment mediums. Fans looking for a rich narrative and complex progression systems often draw comparisons to hits like Baldur's Gate 3, proving the underlying potential for a digital RPG.
For communities invested in expansive lore and interconnected universes, a high-profile Mistborn game would be a massive cultural moment. Sanderson has a clear track record of working closely with creators to respect source material, which bodes well for any future gaming partnership. While we wait for concrete studio announcements, the growing footprint of the Cosmere across tabletop and cinema keeps the momentum alive for players hoping to explore Scadriel on screen.
