The project was announced on stage at RuneFest in Birmingham on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Jagex first released \u201cRuneScape\u201d back in 2001, the title growing into a massively popular fantasy multiplayer online role-playing game.<\/p>\n<p>Blending quests, combat, exploration and cooperative adventures, players forge their own paths through the medieval fantasy world of Gielinor.<\/p>\n<p>Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy says in a statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 25 years, our players have helped shape \u2018RuneScape\u2019s\u2019 extraordinary world, its characters and its stories. When we talk about the future of \u2018RuneScape,\u2019 we don\u2019t 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\u2019s early days, but we\u2019re excited to explore that potential with Charlie and the team at Lyrical Animation, and we\t wanted our players to be the first to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White is a longtime member of the \u201cRuneScape\u201d community with more than 25 million followers across his channels and platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrical Animation will produce the project alongside White\u2019s Meatier Productions, with early development underway.  More details will be revealed next year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/gaming\/news\/runescape-animation-series-lyrical-animation-jagex-1236898308\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jagex Lyrical Animation is developing a new animated series based on the \u201cRuneScape\u201d franchise.
