YouTuber Charlie ‘MoistCr1TiKaL’ White is teaming up with Jagex and Lyrical Animation to develop an animated series based on RuneScape.

White’s Meatier Productions will produce the project alongside Lyrical Animation, bringing the fantasy world of Gielinor to animation.

The announcement was made by Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy at RuneFest in Birmingham, following the Old School RuneScape keynote.

“When we talk about the future of RuneScape, we don’t just mean games,” Bellamy said.

“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.”

Development is still in its early stages, with further details expected in 2027. No streaming platform, voice cast or release date has been announced, meaning 2027 is currently the next expected update rather than a confirmed premiere window.

Daniel Dominguez, Creative Director of Lyrical Animation, also welcomed the project.

“Runescape has such a unique storytelling voice, at once laugh-out-loud funny and effortlessly insightful,” Dominguez said. “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.”

The RuneScape series follows another animation project involving White, Jagex and Lyrical Animation. The companies are also working on an animated adaptation of White’s Godslap graphic novel, which is already in production and targeting a 2028 release. Lyrical Animation is also developing a Bloodborne adaptation with YouTuber Jacksepticeye.
