Brotherwise Games is launching a crowdfunding campaign this autumn for Stormlight: War for Roshar. The tabletop adaptation of Brandon Sanderson's fantasy series will feature strategic battles between the Coalition of Honor and Odium's forces.
John D Clair’s design pitting the Coalition of Honor against Odium
The new project, Stormlight: War for Roshar, is being developed by Brotherwise Games and features the work of acclaimed designer John D Clair. According to the report , the game focuses on the central conflict of the Stormlight Archive, placing players in control of either the Coalition of Honor or the forces of Odium as they fight for control of the world of Roshar.
This adaptation arrives at a time when Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe has scaled into one of the most dominant forces in modern fantasy. While the Mistborn Saga remains a cornerstone of the franchise, the report notes that the Stormlight Archive has arguably become the most popular series in the universe as of 2026, creating a massive, underserved audience for high-fidelity tabletop experiences.
Eight rounds of combat punctuated by Highstorms and Everstorms
The gameplay mechanics of Stormlight: War for Roshar are designed to mirror the volatile environment of Sanderson's world. As the report says, the game is structured over eight rounds, with each round interrupted by the arrival of a raging Highstorm or Everstorm, forcing players to adapt their strategies to the weather.
Players can engage in various formats, including one-on-one matches, three-vs-one scenarios, or team-based play with two players per side. To achieve victory, participants must manage their heroes and armies to claim strategic Oathgates and complete secondary objectives. The game will incorporate Stormlight-powered action cards, unit deployment, and the ability to sway neutral nations to their cause.
A 2027 fulfillment date amid the Apple TV+ Cosmere expansion
Brotherwise Games has set an ambitious timeline for the project, with fulfillment planned for 2027. While the game will debut via Kickstarter, the developer intends to make the title available through traditional retail channels after the initial crowdfunding phase is complete.
This move is part of a larger multimedia surge for the Cosmere. beyond the tabletop space, fans are awaiting a live-action television adaptation of the Stormlight Archive, and Apple TV+ is currently working to adapt the broader Cosmere literary universe into various formats. This convergence of gaming and streaming suggests a coordinated effort to transition the series from a literary phenomenon into a cross-media franchise.
The missing details on Kickstarter funding tiers
While the pre-launch page for Stormlight: War for Roshar is currently live, several critical pieces of information remain undisclosed.. Specifically , the official Brotherwise Games site has not yet detailed the various funding tiers or the specific rewards and components included for those who back the project.
Potential backers are left wondering exactly what the entry price point will be or if there will be exclusive "collector" editions of the game. with a full campaign launch likely coming in October, the industry is watching to see if the project follows the trend of high-budget, "big box" fantasy games that often seek millions in seed funding.
