It’s just been announced that Lyrical Animation is developing a new animated series adapted from the beloved internet franchise, RuneScape.

Jagex first released the massively popular fantasy multiplayer online role-playing game in 2001, and it is still being played by huge numbers to this day. The project was announced by Jagex on stage at RuneFest in Birmingham on Saturday. They are working on the project with the animation company alongside online creator Charles Christopher White Jr. (aka. MoistCr1TiKaL).

In a statement about the announcement, Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy said, “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.” Before Daniel Dominguez, creative director of Lyrical Animation, added: “RuneScape has such a unique storytelling voice, at once laugh-out-loud funny and effortlessly insightful. To be allowed to help bring that to life for its millions of fans alongside our dear friend Charlie again is a dream come true.”

For those that don’t know the game, it involves players forging their own paths through the medieval fantasy world of Gielinor through quests, combat, exploration and cooperative adventures. Development on the animated series is currently in its early stages, and the company expects to reveal more details in 2027.
