Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth marked a major turning point for The Stormlight Archive, bringing the first five-book arc (i.e., the "Front Five") of his epic fantasy series to a close in December 2024. Unfortunately, it also marked the beginning of a lengthy hiatus for readers, with Sanderson shifting his attention to other Cosmere projects before returning for the highly anticipated Back Five at some point down the road. Thankfully, there's finally some progress on that front, as Sanderson recently confirmed that he's begun outlining Stormlight Archive Book 6, with plans to continue developing the outlines for Books 6 through 10 throughout 2027. He's targeting January 2028 to begin writing the sixth installment, with publication tentatively expected around 2031. That's still a long wait for readers eager to return to Roshar, especially considering where Book Five left things. However, fans of the latest novel have something else to look forward to, with a brand-new release officially arriving in 2027 and bringing back Ishar, Sigzil, Yanagawn, and more beloved characters from Wind and Truth. Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth is officially getting a new release in 2027, courtesy of Brotherwise Games and its enormously successful Stormlight: War for Roshar Kickstarter campaign. While the upcoming strategy game is the main attraction, the campaign also includes several exciting collectibles as part of its various add-on options, including a brand-new miniature collection dedicated specifically to the fifth Stormlight Archive novel. The Wind & Truth Premium Miniatures 7-Pack continues Brotherwise Games' existing line of book-inspired miniatures, which has already covered The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, and Rhythm of War. The new collection finally gives Sanderson's most recent novel the same treatment, bringing seven important characters to life as detailed miniatures. The complete Wind & Truth collection includes minis for the following characters: Ishar Sigzil Yanagawn Shallan Honor Cultivation Dalinar The lineup includes several of the most important characters in Wind and Truth, particularly when it comes to the novel's exploration of Roshar's history and its gods. The collection also features some familiar faces in new forms, making it a compelling addition for anyone who already owns Brotherwise's previous Stormlight Archive miniature sets. The seven-pack is available as an optional add-on for the War for Roshar campaign, meaning backers don't necessarily need to purchase the full board game to get it. However, the Wind & Truth collection is automatically included with both the $295 Fifth Ideal and $375 Herald pledge tiers. These premium packages also feature additional Cosmere miniatures, including a new Mistborn collection, alongside various deluxe upgrades and other tabletop releases. As for War for Roshar itself, the Kickstarter has already been an overwhelming success. The campaign officially concluded on November 5, 2026, having raised more than $3.6 million against its original $100,000 funding goal. It also unlocked numerous stretch goals, including a highly requested solo mode and redesigned Leader miniatures. Although the original funding period has ended, the Kickstarter is still accepting late pledges across several reward tiers as of this writing, giving fans another opportunity to secure the game and its various add-ons. War for Roshar is currently targeting November 2027 for Kickstarter fulfillment, including the Wind & Truth miniatures, with a wider retail release anticipated afterward. While the next Stormlight Archive novel is still years away, fans will at least have another opportunity to revisit Sanderson's world in 2027.
