Joe gave an interview to the Italian website Librogame's Land in which he gave several interesting informations. Here we go:
-Book 29 is going a huge revision. The first script was finished last Xmas, but Joe decided to modify certain things including the ending so that it could better make the transition with book 30. The revision is 90% completed and we can expect the publication of the book in November.
-After that, Joe expects the other three books to be published in the next 18 months, which gives us April 2013 as the date where book 32 is finally released.
-It is important to note that book 28, which will get back the 50 sections it was missing in its first release, might be republished before book 27.
-Mongoose is still working to find a distributor for the softback version of the books.
-The expanded version of books 1 and 2 will be available for Kindle in August. Amazon bought the rights to published the series in this format.
-A big final version of the Magnamund map will be created by Joe and an Italian fan. It will be available at the Lucca Comics & Games this fall. Joe would really like to publish an atlas with this map.
-The sad news: the video game is dead because the Japanese company that was supposed to make it suffered financially from the earthquake. The rights returned to Joe who says that 2 new companies are interested.
-As for the film, the option on the rights are expiring in a few months and nothing has come up so far. If nothing else happens, the rights will go back to Joe.
