Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. Back on 17 July this year, Mistborn celebrated its 20th anniversary. Created by author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn trilogy tells the story of magical beings known as Allomancers, individuals who can consume metal in order to wield world-changing powers. First released in 2006, before welcoming two other books in its first era, Mistborn was an instant hit, and despite having plenty of other series under his belt, is still considered one of Sanderson's best. As such, the Mistborn saga has gone on to inspire plenty of further releases over the years, and has even seen the video game world want to collaborate with Sanderson's fantasy setting. Back in 2021, Mistborn's main character Kelsier was added to Fortnite, complete with his coins, sniper senses, and strength. Then, in 2024, Brotherwise Games released Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game. Featuring incredible art of Kelsier and his crew, as well as a brand-new expansion pack, The Well of Ascension, which released recently, the card game perfectly encapsulated the magic of Cosmere. However, that is not all, as in a post dedicated to Mistborn's 20th anniversary, we received news that the beloved book franchise will be welcoming a fully dedicated RPG later this year. "Later this year, we'll also get a full Mistborn RPG, expanding Brotherwise's existing Cosmere RPG beyond the boundaries of the Stormlight Archive," the post reads. "The expansion will include brand-new miniatures, a rules' handbook, a world guide for Scadrial, and an era spanning adventure." Joining the Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game saga, this brand-new release features three hardcover books based on Sanderson's best-selling Mistborn series. Whilst The Mistborn Handbook and Mistborn World Guide provide both lore and rules for the first two eras of the Mistborn world, The Mistborn Legacy "adventure explores both settings with a story that unfolds over generations!" If you are a fan of Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game or want to use this opportunity to immerse yourself in the fantasy world in RPG form, then you can now pre-order the upcoming hardcover books ahead of their release this September. Not only that, but with Mistborn set to finally receive an Apple TV movie adaptation, now marks the perfect time to become familiar with the incredible fantasy world created by Sanderson and which now celebrates its 20th anniversary. The movie, which will feature a screenplay written by Sanderson himself, is still searching for a producer, but with the author at the helm, there is no denying that this will be a faithful adaptation as well as marking the first time that we will see the beloved book series on the big screen.
