A new turn-based fantasy RPG titled The Severed Gods has been announced, positioning itself as a blend of Final Fantasy-style gameplay and the aesthetic themes of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series. The project was confirmed via a recent industry report, though it is not an official adaptation of the author's work.
Project Background
The announcement arrives as fans continue to wait for an official video game set within Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe. The developers behind The Severed Gods are leaning into the tone and mechanical inspiration of the Mistborn novels, marking a distinct creative direction for the upcoming turn-based title.
This announcement serves as a point of comparison for fans of the genre, though the project remains independent of any official collaboration with Sanderson. The cancellation of the 2012 title Mistborn: Birthright remains the only previously documented attempt at an official adaptation in the gaming space.
What to Expect
While specific release windows and platform details beyond the PC announcement are currently limited, the game is being marketed to players who enjoy tactical, turn-based combat systems similar to the Final Fantasy series. The developers have emphasized a focus on high-fantasy narrative elements, drawing heavily on the world-building sensibilities found in modern fantasy literature.
