Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn Officially Returns in Fall 2026 With a New Adaptation
From novels to roleplaying
Brandon Sanderson began the Mistborn series with The Final Empire in 2006. The books span four eras in a shared universe, and an eighth installment is also expected soon.
Mistborn is part of Sanderson’s wider Cosmere setting, which has inspired other forms of entertainment. The Cosmere Roleplaying Game, developed by Brotherwise Games, launched in 2024 after a Kickstarter campaign raised $14.7 million, a record for a tabletop roleplaying game on the platform, according to the article.
Three books cover two eras
The Mistborn collection includes three hardcover books: the Mistborn Handbook, the Mistborn World Guide and the Mistborn Legacy adventure. The first two provide rules and background for Era One and Era Two, while the adventure connects the settings across generations.
The 405-page Handbook contains material for players and game masters to create characters and run stories on Scadrial. Its options include playing a Mistborn or a Twinborn in either era.
Campaigns with different tones
Era One features dark fantasy elements, including rebellion, heists, horror and ballroom intrigue. Era Two shifts toward detective tales, secret societies, gunslinging and pulp-style adventure. Across both settings, characters confront personal struggles while protecting the world from dangerous gods. The sourcebooks are available for pre-order through booksellers and game retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and Dragonsteel.
The article first places the release in Fall 2026, then gives November 2026 as the release month. It does not clarify the difference between those timelines.
