When it comes to fantasy literature, Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series stands out as one of the most acclaimed works in the genre. The books are among the bestsellers of all time, yet the franchise has seen limited adaptations into other media over the past decade.
The most significant adaptation is undoubtedly the Prime Video television series, which aired for three seasons before being abruptly canceled by the streaming service. Aside from that, there have been few developments, but an exciting new project is on the horizon that could surpass all previous adaptations.
Published by Dire Wolf Games, War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time is an upcoming board game that recently exceeded its $50,000 Kickstarter goal, raising over $1.1 million from more than 6000 backers. The game promises to offer one of the most interactive experiences of the original story, beginning partway through the narrative.
In detailing what fans can expect from the new game, the developer shared the following on their official website:
“The Wheel of Time is a massive, epic tale. With fourteen books’ (and more!) worth of adventure, it’s packed with favorite characters, memorable events, and heroic moments. This makes it a treasure trove for story-based game pieces — so much so that War of the Dragon needed multiple ways to show them off!
“War of the Dragon starts with the adventure already underway, in a pastiche of Book 4, The Shadow Rising. The Stone of Tear has fallen, while the heroes look toward the Aiel Waste, the Two Rivers, and Tanchico for their next missions. This sets the table for the global conflict that the game represents.”
The fundraising campaign has now concluded, but this means that the project is ready to move into full production. Although there were some exclusives for early backers, you will still be able to purchase the game at retailers.
Although the developer has not set a specific release date for War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time, they expect to begin shipping the game to customers at the start of 2027. It’s important to note that shipping costs will vary by region, so be sure to check how much it will be in your area.
