Jagex is known for the MMORPG Runescape, which has now been around for 16 years but still delights fans. Now, another title is set to be added.
Previously, Jagex attempted to expand its portfolio. Stellar Dawn was supposed to lead into space, but the game was canceled before it was released. The MOBA Transformers Universe was a flop and was shut down shortly after release. However, these setbacks do not deter the development team.
An innovative Free2Play MMO
The studio is currently looking for new staff for an unannounced new MMO project. Specifically, a Senior Game Designer and a Gameplay Programmer are being sought.
Much is not yet revealed, except that it is a Free2Play project. It is also intended to be an innovative online game, and the staff will be involved from conception to implementation.
During a Twitch presentation, which some believe was a “planned leak”, a developer accidentally shared this image a few weeks ago:
MMORPG? Shared World? MOBA?
Now speculation can run wild about what Jagex is working on. A classic MMORPG? That wouldn’t be particularly innovative. One of the currently popular Shared-World games? Here too, innovation is not as far-fetched as more and more studios are jumping on this bandwagon.
The team has not had good experiences with a MOBA. Therefore, all fans can look forward to what Jagex is cooking up here.
