The prolific author has a number of high-profile sequels in the works for both Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive, and a new standalone book, The Fires of December, gets its hardcover release in two months. There's a new Stormlight show and Mistborn movies in the works, and the author's official Cosmere RPG is going strong too. And if you're a fan of Mistborn, then you've got even more to look forward to this fall. The Cosmere RPG is currently heavily focused on The Stormlight Archive, with new releases scheduled through 2027. However, the tabletop game is about to bring Sanderson's Mistborn into the fray in a major way, with three new books that are all set to have hardcovers released this fall. It's not just the world of Scadrial that's being added, though, as mechanics involving metal will change combat and exploration. Players can also choose between two distrinct eras. Mistborn is coming to the Cosmere RPG in Fall 2026, with three physical hardcover books all launching during this period. Those books are: The Mistborn Handbook Mistborn World Guide Mistborn Legacy Combined, these are the three core rulebooks needed to experience the world of Mistborn. Both The Mistborn Handbook and the Mistborn World Guide includes information across Era 1 (Vin's trilogy) and Era 2 (Wax and Wayne's adventures). Era 1 offers a dark fantasy world where you can experience heists and horror elements, start a rebellion, and participate in ballroom intrigue — much like Vin and company did in the original trilogy. Era 2, of course, is a more Wild West world that adds the pulp adventures of Wax and Wayne with those books' detective stories, secret factions, and gunslinging. The last book, Mistborn Legacy, provides more information on those settings as well as a brand-new story that spans generations. Of course, you can also purchase these Mistborn books digitally, but collectors may want to opt for the hardcover releases instead. The books will feature a ton of new artwork, bringing Sanderson's world to life in a way that we haven't quite seen yet. If you're a fan of tabletop RPGs already, then you'll definitely want to give this a try. Right now, the hardcovers have a release date of November 4, 2026. Mistborn Legacy has an MSRP of $49.99, while The Mistborn Handbook and Mistborn World Guide are both listed as $59.99. Additionally, there's a Starter Set that includes everything you need to get started. It includes: Starter Rules. Contains a condensed 72-page rulebook for the Mistborn Campaign Setting in the Cosmere RPG. Hope in Ashes. Start a session with “Hope in Ashes”: a 48-page adventure for 1st-level characters. Includes battlemaps and tokens for every character and creature in the adventure. Make GMing Easier. Includes six pregenerated character sheets and six initiative cards. Dice.

The Starter Set for Mistborn in the Cosmere RPG is $24.99 from Brotherwise Games, making it a fairly affordable way to see if this TTRPG is right for you. No matter which route you choose, if you're a fan of Brandon Sanderson, these books are worth checking out.
