It appears feasible that bestselling dream writer Brandon Sanderson– developer of the Mistborn collection and also author of the later Wheel of Time stories– might have been asked to create the tradition of Square Enix’s future dream action-RPG Forspoken, however was required to transform it down since he’s active with an additional unannounced video game.
In 2014, Square Enix disclosed Forspoken, an action-adventure video game embeded in the dream globe of Athia. It’s an initial IP, however followers have actually formerly kept in mind some resemblances in between Forspoken and also the Mistborn collection by Brandon Sanderson– with some also thinking this is was the video game Sanderson had actually teased he was supplying the tradition for.
Evidently this is not the situation, as in a current Q&A session Sanderson validates that the video game he dealt with hasn’t been introduced yet– however did include that Square Enix evidently formerly approached him to work with a brand-new “fantasy IP” that had actually been just recently disclosed, and also which had followers contacting him stating that “this feels kind of like Mistborn”.
Sanderson states that the author “came to me and said this feels like something you would really like, would you be interested in writing our lore?” It was evidently “tempting” for the writer however he was required to transform it down “because I’d already just picked up a video game project that I still can’t even announce”.
Considered That Forspoken is the only initial dream IP from Square Enix that’s been disclosed however still isn’t out yet and also has actually been contrasted to Mistborn by followers, it appears extremely feasible that Forspoken is the video game Sanderson is describing.
Ideally we’ll discover even more regarding Brandon Sanderson’s real video game task eventually this year, as today the only pc gaming depiction of his jobs is Mistborn’s Kelsier in Fortnite. When it comes to Forspoken, it’s out in May.
