Lyrical Animation is developing a new animated series based on the “RuneScape” franchise.
Online creator Charles Christopher White Jr. (aka. MoistCr1TiKaL) and game developer Jagex are working in conjunction with the company. The project was announced on stage at RuneFest in Birmingham on Saturday.
Jagex first released “RuneScape” back in 2001, the title growing into a massively popular fantasy multiplayer online role-playing game.
Blending quests, combat, exploration and cooperative adventures, players forge their own paths through the medieval fantasy world of Gielinor.
Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy says in a statement:
“For 25 years, our players have helped shape ‘RuneScape’s’ extraordinary world, its characters and its stories. When we talk about the future of ‘RuneScape,’ we don’t just mean games. We see huge potential to bring Gielinor to life in new ways, both for the millions who already know and love it and for a whole new audience. It’s early days, but we’re excited to explore that potential with Charlie and the team at Lyrical Animation, and we wanted our players to be the first to know.”
White is a longtime member of the “RuneScape” community with more than 25 million followers across his channels and platforms.
Lyrical Animation will produce the project alongside White’s Meatier Productions, with early development underway. More details will be revealed next year.
