War of Legends interview - Jagex's Adam Tuckwell and Christian Reshoeft @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone,

 

Today sees the launch of a brand-new, free to play browser-based game from experts in their field Jagex Game Studios, a UK-based developer best known for the hugely popular RuneScape. To coincide with the launch of the new title in question - War of Legends, an MMO RTS based around Chinese mythology - We spoke to the company's PR Manager Adam Tuckwell and the War of Legends Product Manager Christian Reshoeft to find out more both about Jagex themselves and the newest addition to their gaming line-up.

 

 

War of Legends interview - Jagex's Adam Tuckwell and Christian Reshoeft

 

"As we've already mentioned, Jagex is a UK-based games developer and publisher who have spe[censored]ed in online, browser-based games since 2001, and in the intervening time the company has grown heavily and now encompasses around 400 staff across a couple of development studios in Cambridge and an office in London - Facts which make Jagex the UK's largest independent games studio.

 

The jewel in Jagex's crown at present is the company's free to play medieval fantasy MMO RuneScape, which has itself existed since 2001 (and was indeed the reason for Jagex's creation in the first place). That 165 million user count we mentioned in our introduction makes RuneScape the largest free to play MMO in the Western world, but is just one of over forty titles that have been self-published by Jagex during their lifespan thus far, all of which have been aimed at the PC market aside from a single recently-released iPhone application."
