I've missed this bit of information on Mistborn: Birthright that was published on their facebook page last December. In case you have missed this as well here it is:
More information.Hi Mistborn fans...
First, we would like to apologize for the lack of updates on Birthright.
Here is a little background:
About a year and half ago we had just started full production on the game when half of the development studio working on Birthright got sold to another major publisher. Losing that many staff forced us to put the project on hold, but our expectation at the time was to immediately move to another developer and resume production.
We've now spent over a year trying to put all the pieces back together, so that we could give fans an meaningful update.
While there still isn't a lot of official detail that can be revealed at this time, here is what we can say:
- We are still very much committed to getting the game made, but it's important that we choose the right developer and deliver a game we can all be proud of
- We're staying with Brandon Sanderson's original storyline that he created just for the game back in 2012
- Due to the addition of new console platforms, we've made the decision to start over from scratch to support Xbox One, PS4, X360, PS3, and PC
- A new developer has been selected, but contracts are still in negotiation
- We're now targeting a Fall 2015 release date
We will definitely post more information as the project moves forward.
