While the literary saga remains in a hiatus following the 2024 conclusion of the first five-book arc, fans can anticipate new tabletop content in 2027. This strategy bridges the gap before the series returns with its sixth installment. ## War for Roshar Success Brotherwise Games concluded its Kickstarter campaign for the Stormlight: War for Roshar board game on November 5, 2026. The project surpassed expectations, raising over $3.6 million against an initial $100,000 goal. This massive funding success unlocked various stretch goals, including a solo mode and redesigned leader miniatures for the tabletop experience. ## Wind and Truth Miniatures A new seven-pack of premium miniatures inspired by the novel Wind and Truth will arrive in 2027. These figures, featuring characters like Ishar and Sigzil, are available as add-ons or within specific pledge tiers. This collection continues the tradition of book-inspired sets previously released for earlier entries in the epic fantasy series. ## Literary Roadmap Ahead Sanderson has begun outlining the second half of the Stormlight Archive, covering books six through ten. He plans to develop these outlines throughout 2027, aiming to start writing the sixth book in January 2028. The current target for the publication of this next major installment is approximately 2031 for eager readers. ## Mistborn Film Progress Beyond his fantasy novels, Sanderson is actively writing the script for a Mistborn film adaptation. He recently confirmed that the second draft is currently 50% complete. This project follows an unprecedented deal signed with Apple, which prioritizes the Mistborn cinematic adaptation over other potential television projects currently in the early development stages. ## Television Adaptation Status The television adaptation of The Stormlight Archive remains in the early stages at Apple. Sanderson indicated he will not handle writing duties alone and is currently searching for a showrunner to lead the series. Unlike the Mistborn film, no scripts have been written yet, as the author focuses on other priorities. ## Future Publishing Schedule Sanderson maintains a busy writing schedule, including the Ghostbloods trilogy. The first book is set for a 2028 release, with the subsequent two books following in 2029 and 2030. Once this trilogy concludes, he intends to release the remaining Stormlight Archive books in rapid succession, targeting a biennial release schedule for fans. ## Strategic Franchise Growth The combination of tabletop releases, film scripting, and long-term novel planning highlights Sanderson's multi-platform approach to the Cosmere. By leveraging Kickstarter for physical collectibles and working directly on screenplays, he ensures consistent engagement. Fans should monitor late pledge opportunities for the board game while awaiting the next major literary milestones. ## Sources covering this story - [Screen Rant — Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive Expands with New 2027 Game Release](https://screenrant.com/brandon-sanderson-stormlight-wind-truth-november-2027/) - [Polygon — Brandon Sanderson Provides Progress Update on Mistborn Film Adaptation](https://www.polygon.com/brandon-sanderson-mistborn-movie-script-update/) --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
