Jagex Unveils Casual RuneScape Spinoff


Runescape-idle-adventures

Jagex, makers of the wildly popular RuneScape, today announced the latest game in the MMO series. Dubbed RuneScape: Idle Adventures, the title is a little different than what RuneScape players might be accustomed to. Set in the world of Gielinor, the player takes on the role of the wielder of the Elder Artefact known as the Needle. Play sessions will last a few minutes and boil the MMO gameplay down to loot, levels, and watching your character train.

It’s an addictive, quick-to-play RPG boiled down to the basics of levelling and looting. In a typical session, you’ll spend a few minutes making choices for your customisable hero, then leave him or her to train, fight and quest in real time.

RuneScape: Idle Adventures is being developed by Hyper Hippo, who you may be familiar with from their work on AdVenture Capitalist. The game will be free to play and releases on Steam later this Spring with iOS and Android releases later this year.
