There\u2019s also a One Power deluxe edition with 43 character miniatures, and the Kickstarter pulled in $1,166,993 from 6,156 backers against a $50,000 goal, even with the art style and the victory-point framing getting a mixed response.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve been waiting for a Wheel of Time release that leans on the books, especially after Amazon canceled The Wheel of Time in <strong>May 2025<\/strong>, this looks worth grabbing. Brandon Sanderson called that cancellation a tragedy, while also taking issue with some of the adaptation choices. Meanwhile, iwot Studios is developing animated films, a new animated series, and video games.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just don\u2019t go looking for a download.
