Lyrical Animation is developing a new animation series based on “RuneScape” in partnership with creator Charlie “MoistCr1TiKaL” White and game developer Jagex, the company’s CEO Jon Bellamy announced on stage at RuneFest in Birmingham, UK, on Saturday. The project will bring the world of Gielinor to the screen, and marks a new step in Jagex’s ambition to expand the “RuneScape” world beyond the gaming ecosystem. 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.” Jagex first released “RuneScape” in 2001, and it has grown into a massively popular fantasy multiplayer online role-playing game. Through quests, combat, exploration and cooperative adventures, players can forge their own paths through the medieval fantasy world of Gielinor. The franchise now includes “RuneScape,” “Old School RuneScape” and “RuneScape Dragonwilds.” White is a longtime member of the “RuneScape” community and has amassed more than 25 million followers across his channels and platforms.
Development is in its early stages, and the company expects to reveal more details in 2027.
