Brandon initially tried to start work on ''The Aztlanian'' in May 2014. He eventually decided that since he was using real world cultures, namely various cultures from Meso- and South America, he needed to do significantly more research than he had originally planned. This resulted in the entire month being taken up with research instead of writing. At the end of the month, however, he felt the research he had done was not enough so he shelved the book until he could do more.{{sots ref|2014}}

As of December 2016 ''The Aztlanian'' was Brandon's most requested book. It was potentially going to have been written during 2017, but it did not happen.{{sots ref|2016}} Brandon still knew that he needed to take a thoughtful approach to fictionalizing the mythology and history of the real-life cultures involved. He largely discarded his original outline and wrote a new one that he was happier with, but could not find space in his schedule to devote adequate time to finishing the book.{{wob ref|1638}}

In 2019, Brandon said that the earliest he would start writing ''The Aztlanian'' was after ''[[Bastille Versus the Evil Librarians]]'' was finished.{{sots ref|2019}} As of 2021, Brandon was seeking a co-author who was well-versed in Aztec lore to help complete the book, but he noted that it would not take priority over his mainline series.{{wob ref|15112}}

In 2020, Brandon said that he might work on the Aztlanian if he ran out of steam working on Mistborn Era 3.{{sots ref|2020}} In 2021, the only other things worth noting is that he had mentioned that he was researching to find authors knowledgeable in Aztec mythology. He also said that he realizes that many people want a follow-up to ''The Rithmatist''.{{sots ref|2021}} In 2022, Brandon stated that the Alcatraz series was done, and now the Rithmatist series was the only one left to work on out of his secondary projects.
