Sanderson To Pen Original Prequel To Mistborn Series For All New RPG Franchise<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 March 23, 2012<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>Little Orbit revealed today that they will be bringing bestselling author Brandon Sanderson\u2019s epic fantasy series Mistborn to games late next year for PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC and Mac.<\/p>\n

Mistborn is set in a dark world of ash, mist, and gothic fantasy creatures, dominated by a seemingly immortal villain known as the Lord Ruler. It also follows individuals who use a powerful rule-based magic system known as Allomancy that allows them to temporarily enhance their physical and mentalabilities by ingesting and \u201cburning\u201d flakes of metal. Those who have the ability to burn a single metal are called Mistings, and those who can burn all metals are known as Mistborn.<\/p>\n

The upcoming RPG video game will feature an original storyline created by Sanderson, set several hundreds of years before the first Mistborn novel, and will focus on a unique combat system that puts Allomancy into the hands of gamers. Players will suit up as Fendin \u201cFiddle\u201d Fathvell, an arrogant young nobleman who must quickly master his newfound Allomantic abilities before forces at work can destroy his entire family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of the series, and I cannot wait to get this into the hands of gamers,\u201d said Matthew Scott, CEO of Little Orbit.\u00a0 \u201cBetween the distinctive magic system, the story twists Brandon has planned for the game, and the rich depth of character skills, we\u2019re creating something very unique for players to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanderson is no stranger to video games. He recently completed story development on the Infinity Blade II video game including the accompanying Infinity Blade: Awakening<\/em> novella. In between writing his popular Mistborn and Stormlight novels, he is also finishing work on the final novel in Robert Jordan\u2019s Wheel of Time series. Sanderson has been labeled \u201cone of the most popular new fantasy writers to emerge in the last ten years\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“As an avid gamer, I’m extremely excited by this opportunity,\u201d said Sanderson. \u201cThe chance to write the story for a Mistborn game while working with a team of talented developers is, quite literally, living a dream.”<\/p>\n
