Brandon Sanderson teases a Cytoverse tabletop game: “We’ve talked about it”

Brandon Sanderson says a Cytoverse tabletop adaptation has at least come up behind the scenes. In recent comments to IGN about his Skyward universe, he said, “I would love to! We’ve talked about it.” That isn’t an announcement, but it does confirm the idea has been discussed internally.

If you’ve been hoping to pilot Skyward starfighters or explore the Nowhere at your own table, keep an eye on this. Sanderson also told IGN that he’s careful about partnerships and spin-offs, so there’s still no release window, no developer, and no confirmed format.

Could be an RPG. Could be a board game, a deckbuilder, or something else entirely. Sanderson didn’t say whether it would resemble the Cosmere Roleplaying Game, Brotherwise’s War for Roshar, or the Mistborn deckbuilding game.

And none of this feels far-fetched. Sanderson and Dragonsteel already work with Brotherwise on the living, custom d20-based Cosmere Roleplaying Game, with Roshar first and a Mistborn Scadrial setting scheduled for November 2026.

The Cytoverse is also still expanding in print through Riftwake, co-written with Janci Patterson. Blightfall launched in September 2026, Songrise is reportedly aiming for summer 2027, Mistborn is still Sanderson’s top video game pick, the movie remains a long way off, and Skyward is still tied to a Tomorrow Studios TV project.

For now, there’s nothing to download or pre-order.
