While Brandon Sanderson has tried his hardest to get a Mistborn video game up and running, nothing has quite panned out the way he's hoped over the years. Famously, Mistborn: Birthright was announced in 2012 as an action RPG from Little Orbit, with Sanderson writing its story and dialogue.
Development History and Cancellation
The game would have been set hundreds of years before the original trilogy and centered around the series' Allomancy-based powers. However, after years of delays and development troubles, the project was officially cancelled in 2017, leaving the Brandon Sanderson Mistborn video game news as a history of unfulfilled attempts to bring the universe to PC and consoles.
