Brandon Sanderson Is in Early Talks With AAA Studios for a Mistborn Video Game

With rights no longer tied to film deals, the author is exploring a game adaptation under terms that preserve his control.

Overview

  • Sanderson says he has begun Step One pitching conversations with multiple AAA developers about a potential Mistborn project.
  • He notes the game rights were bound to film activity for roughly six to seven years but are now available to pursue separately.
  • The author emphasizes retaining control of videogame rights and publicly invited studio decision-makers to contact his representatives.
  • No partner, genre, platform, or timeline has been set, and reports caution the concept could change or may not advance to production.
  • Coverage highlights Mistborn’s Allomancy and worldbuilding as a strong fit for game mechanics, recalling the canceled Mistborn: Birthright and smaller tie-ins like Fortnite.
