The immensely popular cosmere of #1 New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson will soon be expanding to VR. Arcturus and DMG Entertainment have released a trailer for The Way of Kings, Escape the Shattered Plains VR experience, along with a March 2nd release date. Available for Steam and Viveport, Escape the Shattered Plains will allow fans to step into the world of the Stormlight Archive series, which has sold more than 15 million copies.

“For the first time ever, audiences will be able to experience the thrills and see the magic of the fantasy universe Brandon Sanderson created before their very eyes.”
-Ewan Johnson, Chief Creative Officer of Arcturus

In this immersive, narrative experience, players will take on the role of Kaladin, a young man attempting to come to terms with a budding magical ability. He will have to survive harsh terrain, a war-torn country, and strange creatures within the mythical realm of Roshar, a land where storms of incredible power frequently tear through and reshape the land. Fortunately, Kaladin is not facing the Shattered Planes alone. With the fairy-like Syl as their guide, players will have to survive an unrelenting tempest on the Shattered Plains, learn to harness the magical power of stormlight, and do battle with with both mystical beasts and the sinister Parshendi warriors.

The short form adaption was written by Joshua Rubin, the lead writer behind Destiny and Assassin’s Creed, and has been developed with oversight from Sanderson himself.

“I am beyond excited to finally be able to present this VR experience of The Way of Kings after many months of long, hard work from the teams at DMG and Arcturus. It’s the first time my fans will be able to experience a thrilling adventure in Roshar and see what it’s like to be in the Shattered Plains.”
