Stormlight Archive 6 Gets a Major Official Update From Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson, renowned fantasy author, recently shared an exciting update regarding his ongoing projects. His weekly video revealed that work has commenced on the next book in The Stormlight Archive series. Sanderson has begun outlining the sixth installment, with the actual writing slated for January 2028. He plans to outline the subsequent four books during 2027, ensuring a seamless transition into writing once he's ready.

This endeavor hinges on his primary goal for 2028: completing Ghostbloods 2 and 3. The news of Stormlight Archive 6's start follows Sanderson's announcement of a rigorous release schedule for the remaining series books. Once he begins writing the second half (books six through ten), he anticipates releasing each book every two or three years, beginning around 2031.

Sanderson's dedication to these projects is commendable, given his involvement in multiple other commitments. Among these, he's working on adaptations for Apple, including a television series based on The Stormlight Archive and a film adaptation of the Mistborn trilogy. For the Mistborn film, Sanderson is crafting the script himself, currently at 35% completion.

Despite the demanding timeline, he remains optimistic, having written an additional 10% in just seven days while simultaneously participating in a Halloween stream in a Shrek costume.
