I'm not so sure, he didn't sound very excited about it

SHADOW AND BONE SEASON 2

yeah thats it

[That1Cellist he/him]

Okay, most hyped is hard for me, but here are the things I'm looking forward too.

Hollow Knight: Silksong. The original might just be my favorite game I've ever played, and I can't wait to get more lore for Hollow Knight. Additionally, the soundtrack samples that are out are fantastic, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the OST.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Breath of the Wild is probably my other candidate for favorite game ever (though the title for most nostalgia goes either to Mario Kart Wii or Super Mario Galaxy 2) Breath of the Wild is a gorgeous game and I can't wait to get more of it and hopefully some explanations for the strange things in Breath of the Wild that weren't explained.

Oh, also secret projects and Stormlight 5. I can't wait for those either.

[Eluvianii he/him]

Stormlight is 2024 tho.

*angery screming* HE PUSHED THE DATE FORWARD BECAUSE OF DEFIANT!!! *more angwery screming*

sorry sorry i know people really like that series it's just tainted for me because it's not nearly as good as anything cosmere (skyward was pretty great but starsight and cytonic are kind of not) and it's taking his time away from my bois kaladin and navani and adolin and renarin. i would say that all cosmere series are more deserving of his time, and if he's focusing on a non-csomere series it should be THE RITHMATISTS because it's so frickng cool and it's been 10 YEARS and no sequel ahhhhh

edit: oh lord i'm really sorry eluvianii ii did not mean to dump that on you ;-;

I guess this is controversial, but I actually liked starsight and Cytonic, they definitely weren't as good as Skyward though

It's no problem. That said, he did say he would have pushed the date back regardless, as he doesn't want the end of the front half to be "just another book", and wants to take his time polishing it. 

Also, I know people repeat this all the time, but it's thanks to all his non-Cosmere stuff that the Cosmere stuff is so good. If he didn't take breaks from it to avoid burnout, Stormlight would probably be over by now, but it would most likely be a very disappointing series. 

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

The Wheel of Time season 2. (hopefully it'll be better than the absolute trainwreck of season 1)

The Mandalorian season 3 just started, and I don't like any of the new MCU stuff except No Way Home. Which isn't even that new. So I don't have a lot of new stuff I'm looking forward to, just trying to bang through my TBR and finish the first draft of my book.

That is completely true.

I still totally wish he was focusing on the Rithmatists instead of Skyward though lol. But all the things you said are very fair. I realize I must remember that Sanderson is a person and not a book-writing robot (though it does feel like it sometimes doesn't it lmao)

What are you talking about? He is most definitely a robot

I agree, I enjoyed both of those books. (Especially Starsight on the re-read.) I'm also going to say that I wish Brandon Sanderson would put less focus on the cytoverse, but that's okay.

Ashoka looks interesting but I'm most hyped for Arcane S2. Not sure if it'll be out this year, though I spent all my birthday wishes on it, but I'm hopeful.

[Use the Falchion]

Across the Spider-Verse has lived up to the hype. 

[Eluvianii he/him]

Nice, that's really good to hear. The bar was pretty high. 

[Zurvanight he/him]

Alan Wake 2

Final Fantasy XVI 

Trails into Reverie 

Starfield

Those four games for sure.

• A Curse of Krakens
  • Book 3 of the Seven Kennings Trilogy
  • Book 1 - Plague of Giants
  • Author: Kevin Hearne
• Series Synopsis: Anybody can be blessed with magic - but if you try and fail, you die. When an island of Giants of the First Kenning (Fire Magic) suffers a volcanic eruption, they annex part of Ghurana Nent (the only nation with no Kenning of its own) under the guise of Refugees. On the east coast, an unknown race of pale Giants invades from across the ocean (though nobody knows how they crossed without being destroyed by Krakens). The Story is told by a Bard of the Third Kenning (Earth Magic) to the refugees in Bryn (Nation of the Fourth Kenning - Water Magic) as they await the arrival of the Multi-national army formed to push out the invading Giant armies.

Defiant, Loki, Secret Invasion, Across the Spiderverse cause I haven't seen that yet, clips of any bit of Shadow and Bone show stuff cause I don't got Netflix, anything that Sanderson will put out, the rest of the secret projects, Obi-wan: Trials of the Master, more Intentionally Blank always.

That should be about it, I think.

[The Sibling she/her]

Yesss!

Loki

I'm so exited for Loki I hope it's as good as the first season!

Other then that, I'm not really sure what I'm exited about. I don't usually pay attention ti when new stuff is coming out, so sometimes when it does I'm very surprised.

Season one was the first bit of MCU I ever saw, somehow. It was fantastic. I hope season two is amazing. I always want more Natalie Holt music and more of my boy Tom Hiddleston.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

Super excited for Armored Core.
