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.
White is a longtime member of the “RuneScape” community and has amassed more than 25 million followers across his channels and platforms. “I’ve been playing RuneScape for 22 years, and it’s one of my favorite IPs ever,” said White. “I’m so excited to be working with the team on this project.”
“RuneScape has such a unique storytelling voice, at once laugh-out-loud funny and effortlessly insightful,” said Daniel Dominguez, creative director of Lyrical Animation. “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.”
Lyrical Animation will produce the project alongside White’s Meatier Productions. Development is in its early stages, and the company expects to reveal more details in 2027.
