Product Focus

Red Eagle Games' initial product portfolio will consist of a series of action/role-playing video games based on Robert Jordan's celebrated fantasy fiction series, The Wheel of Time.  The Wheel of Time is one of the most successful (and expansive) literary franchises ever written, and depicts a vast world that is rich in resources for video game development.

The Wheel of Time is a multi-volume literary franchise commanding a globally-recognized brand.  Jordan's wildly popular books have sold about 44 million copies throughout the world.  The Wheel of Time commands a sweeping demographic and has proven its ability to reach an audience that is truly global.  The Wheel of Time series has been published in 24 languages and is available in Great Britain, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Taiwan, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, Korea, Turkey, Estonia, and the United States.  Before his death in 2007, Jordan was widely respected among his peers, critics and fans alike as today's pre-eminent fantasy fiction writer.  He has been critically acclaimed as the heir-apparent to J.R.R. Tolkien.

The rich details of Jordan's meticulously crafted series have captivated readers since 1990, when The Eye of the World, the first book in the series, was published. In the two decades since, eleven additional books, including one prequel, have since been added to the series and have consistently appeared on the New York Times “Bestseller List” with the last four of novels in the series attaining the vaunted position of "No. 1. Jordan's wildly popular books have been translated into 24 languages, and have sold about 44 million copies worldwide. The broad reach of The Wheel of Time phenomenon is compellingly demonstrated by the tens of thousands of dedicated Internet websites that bind together an energetic worldwide community of fans who are devoutly loyal to the series. 

Jordan passed away in 2007 at the age of 58, but his publisher, Tor Books, recently announced that a final trilogy of novels will bring his epic series to its long-awaited climax.  The next installment in the series, entitled The Gathering Storm, is expected to be published in November of 2009 by Tor Books.  This novel is being finished by fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson using notes, audio recordings and draft materials left with Jordan's wife and editor, Harriet Rigney.
