Wheel of Time: The One Power Officially Releases in 2027 After Kickstarter
New games extend the fantasy world
The Wheel of Time began with Robert Jordan’s 1990 novel, The Eye of the World. Brandon Sanderson co-wrote the final three books in the series. Amazon Prime’s television adaptation began airing in 2021 and ended in May 2025, after its third season. A fan campaign under the hashtag #SaveWOT has not resulted in a renewal so far.
Two games are now planned for the franchise. War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time is expected in 2027, while The Wheel of Time: The One Power edition is scheduled for June that year.
Strategy game centers on conflict
Dire Wolf Games is developing War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time as a grand strategy game. Its story draws on the struggle between the forces of light and darkness, represented by Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, and the Dark One.
Players take on those roles and wage war in a setting of magic, ancient prophecies and powerful armies. The game’s premise puts the fate of the world in players’ hands.
The One Power pledge details
The One Power was offered as a $123 USD pledge during the Kickstarter campaign. Backers were promised the board game edition when it releases in June 2027. The edition includes cardboard standees, limited-edition plastic mini figures and the features of the standard Backerkit. It was described as the campaign’s mid-level, or “silver,” tier. A higher-priced option, The Last Battle Bundle, includes the Component Upgrade Pack, War of the Dragon card sleeves, a neoprene playmat and additional items.
Campaign ended, retail plans ahead
The Kickstarter campaign has ended, and it is no longer accepting pledges. The article says customers interested in the bundles should follow Dire Wolf for information about physical copies when War of the Dragon reaches retail.
The exact release timing for War of the Dragon is given only as sometime in 2027. The games provide a new way for fans, including tabletop role-playing game fans, to return to the series’ world.
