A Goodreads user asked Myke Cole:

do you plan to write a bigger epic fantasy saga in the future? By big I mean the length of the saga and books.

Myke Cole Nope. I won’t say it’ll *never* happen, but huge phonebook-sized tomes aren’t my thing. I certainly enjoy them when I read them, but it just doesn’t seem to be how I write. At the present moment, I have two short fantasy sci-fi novels under contract, and I’m about to sign a contract for a new military history (nonfiction) work that’ll be about the same length as LEGION VERSUS PHALANX (around 100-120,000 words). I’m also pitching a comic book that I have high hopes for, and I’m about to start shooting a new TV show (more on that when they take the gag off).

After that, the idea that’s most singing to me is an alternative history that I have 25% of an outline for and the first 10,000 words.

I never say never, but it’s unlikely I’ll produce a Sandersonian/Brettian work of fantasy any time soon. Sorry!
