Forspoken could have had Mistborn author Brandon Sanderson as its author
It seems likely that best-selling fantasy author Brandon Sanderson (creator of the Mistborn series and later the Wheel of Time novel) will be asked to write the lore of Square Enix’s upcoming fantasy action RPG, Forspoken, but Forced to turn down because he was busy with another unannounced game.
Last year, Square Enix released Forspoken, an action-adventure game set in the fantasy world of Athia. It’s an original IP, but fans have noticed some similarities between Forspoken and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series before — some even believe it’s Sanderson making fun of the game he gave the lore for.
Apparently that’s not the case, as in a recent Q&A session, Sanderson confirmed that the game he’s working on hasn’t been announced yet – but did add that Square Enix had apparently approached him with a new “fantasy IP” before. It was recently revealed that a fan wrote to him saying “it feels a bit like Mistborn”.
Sanderson said the publisher “came to me and said it felt like you really liked, would you be interested in writing our lore?” It was apparently “tempting” for the author, but he was forced to turn it down , “because I just picked up a video game project that I can’t even announce”.
Given that Forspoken is Square Enix’s only original fantasy IP that has been revealed but not released, and has been compared to Mistborn by fans, it seems likely that the game Sanderson is referring to is Forspoken.
Hopefully we’ll learn more about Brandon Sanderson’s actual game project sometime this year, as the only game representative of his work at the moment is Mistborn’s Kelsier in Fortnite. As for Forspoken, it launched in May.
