Published Oct 5, 2026, 8:01 AM EDT Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling.

When it comes to high fantasy novel series, Brandon Sanderson is perhaps one of the greatest of all time. Over the years, the author has penned over ten distinct series across his major universes, with the Mistborn franchise being one of the most iconic. The Mistborn saga, which has been split into four eras set across different time periods, began back in 2006, and is still ongoing to this day. As part of Sanderson's Cosmere universe, Mistborn follows the story of Allomancers, individuals that can consume metal in order to wield magical powers.

Not only that, but with the idea of Mistborn coming to Sanderson after reading the Harry Potter series, the author revealed that he wanted to create a world where the "dark lord" triumphed and the "prophesied hero" failed. As such, it spins the high fantasy series on its head, making it one of the greatest of all time. As such, fans will be pleased to hear that the Mistborn saga is set to return in Fall 2026. Created by Dragonsteel Entertainment and Brotherwise Games, The Cosmere Roleplaying Game is exactly what it says on the tin, a TTRPG experience set in Sanderson's iconic fictional universe. First released back in 2023 after raising an eye-watering $14 million as part of a Kickstarter/BackerKit campaign, the official TTRPG experience has been nothing but a hit by expanding the Sanderson-verse and supporting multi-world "Worldhopper" campaigns and standalone regional settings. Centered around the Mistborn franchise, as well as The Stormlight Archive, The Cosmere Roleplaying Game is set to welcome a brand-new release in Fall 2026: Mistborn Sourcebooks & Accessories. Consisting of three hardcover books, the Mistborn-inspired titles include The Mistborn Handbook and Mistborn World Guide, which provide lore and rules for Mistborn Era 1 and Era 2, which will be the perfect way to approach a campaign. Alternatively, you could check out The Mistborn Legacy, an adventure that "explores both settings with a story that unfolds over generations!" So, if you are curious about starting a campaign for The Cosmere Roleplaying Game or just want to learn more about the Mistborn universe, then the Mistborn Sourcebooks & Accessories will be the perfect way to immerse yourself in Sanderson's high fantasy world. Not only will these books be available on the official Cosmere RPG website, but they can also be found in major book stores.
