Redwall Returns: New Novel Orphans of Mossflower Announced for 2027
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fifteen years after the death of author Brian Jacques, a new Redwall novel titled Orphans of Mossflower has been announced for a September 2027 release.
Polygon reports that the beloved Redwall fantasy series is making an unexpected return fifteen years after the passing of author Brian Jacques. Titled Orphans of Mossflower, the upcoming twenty-third installment is scheduled to launch on September 7, 2027, alongside a comprehensive boxed set celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the franchise. While plot specifics remain under wraps, longtime fans have already pieced together hints from a promotional contest held back in 2010, suggesting the story will involve a desperate evacuation from the iconic abbey toward Salamandastron.
For a community that has kept the spirit of Mossflower Woods alive for decades through fan wikis, tabletop roleplaying games like Wanderhome, and shared nostalgia, this posthumous release is a massive moment. Although a high profile Netflix adaptation helmed by Over the Garden Wall creator Patrick McHale was unfortunately canceled earlier this year, the literary side of the franchise is suddenly active again. As we get closer to the launch date, players and readers alike will be watching to see how this long hidden manuscript fits into the broader timeline of the beloved animal adventure epic.
