Mistborn Prequel Game Announced
The Mistborn fantasy series is getting a video game prequel. It's due out next fall for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
The upcoming game, titled Mistborn Birthright, features an original storyline written by Brandon Sanderson set several hundred years before the first Mistborn novel. “I’m a huge fan of the series, and I cannot wait to get this into the hands of gamers,” said Matthew Scott, CEO of Little Orbit, the game's publisher.
“Between the distinctive magic system, the story twists Brandon has planned for the game, and the rich depth of character skills, we’re creating something very unique for players to enjoy.”
Per the press release:
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 mental abilities by ingesting and “burning” 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.
