Brandon Sanderson, the author who was selected to finish the Wheel of Time fantasy series after original author Robert Jordan passed away, is the author of a New York Times top ten series titled Mistborn. Sanderson announced on his blog that he is teaming up with Little Orbit Games (creators of licensed games for Young Justice and Sherlock Holmes) to adapt Mistborn’s setting into a video game.
The game is set as a prequel to the books, taking place hundreds of years ago. Sanderson says he has been impressed with Little Orbit by the work they have done together so far. While little information about the game in available, Sanderson says the company “envisioned the game the same way I always had.” He will not participate in the actual design of the game, but will be writing the plot and dialogue. Mistborn: Birthright is scheduled for a 2013 release on “video game platforms.”
