Alright gamers, listen up! Your fave medieval fantasy MMO, RuneScape, is leveling up big time. Lyrical Animation is teaming up with none other than Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL" White and the OG game devs at Jagex to bring the world of Gielinor to your screens in a brand new animated series.
"For 25 years, our players have helped shape RuneScape's extraordinary world, its characters and its stories," said Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy at RuneFest. "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." No cap, it's major.
Gielinor Goes Animated
Launched way back in 2001, RuneScape has been a staple for millions, letting players explore, quest, and fight their way through its epic fantasy world. Now, Jagex is looking to expand the franchise beyond the game itself, and Bellamy is hyped to explore this potential with Charlie and Lyrical Animation.
White, a total OG in the RuneScape community with over 25 million followers across his platforms, is also stoked. "I've been playing RuneScape for 22 years, and it's one of my favorite IPs ever," he said. "I'm so excited to be working with the team on this project." It's giving main character energy for sure.
Daniel Dominguez, creative director at Lyrical Animation, shared the hype, noting RuneScape's "laugh-out-loud funny and effortlessly insightful" storytelling. "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."
What's Next?
Lyrical Animation will be producing the series alongside White's Meatier Productions. The project is still in its early stages, so expect more deets to drop sometime in 2027. Until then, keep grinding those skills in-game, fam!
