Titan and game developer Jagex are forming a collaboration to create a variety of books based upon RuneScape.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- Global Publisher, Titan, and leading game developer Jagex are delighted to announce a multi-platform publishing program of comics, graphic novels, original fiction, and coloring books for the popular fantasy video game franchise, RuneScape. This program will expand the beloved stories of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape to exciting new frontiers in 2023.

Since its release in 2001, over 300m RuneScape accounts have been created across PC, Steam and iOS and Android mobile platforms. Set in the medieval fantasy realm of Gielinor, both RuneScape and the retro styled Old School RuneScape take players on an open-ended adventure in a vast ever evolving world brimming with diverse races, guilds and ancient gods, challenging them to take on varied quests and a host of unique monsters.

"We're excited to be working with Titan to bring new RuneScape stories to fans of the franchise globally through new mediums. Titan are a powerhouse in the world of publishing, and are a perfect partner for Jagex to bring these new stories to life" said Phil Mansell, CEO of Jagex.

Fans of RuneScape will be able to immerse themselves further than ever before into the games' fantastical world with Titan Books and Titan Comics providing the perfect companion material.

"We have been following the RuneScape IP for many years and are thrilled to now be working with the brilliant and creative team at Jagex," said Titan's co-Publishers Vivian Cheung and Nick Landau. "It is always fun to work on a project with such a passionate fan base. We are so excited to be part of the RuneScape community!"
