Jagex Games Studio, the developer of the long-running browser MMO Runescape, today announced the development of their next MMO, Stellar Dawn. Unlike the fantasy-styled Runescape, Stellar Dawn is a science fiction MMO with a “variety of gameplay styles.” The game is scheduled for release next year and marks Jagex’s first new MMO in almost 10 years.
“Stellar Dawn will be Jagex’s biggest release to date and everyone at the studio is absolutely electric with excitement as we enter the final stages of development,” said Mark Gerhard, Jagex CEO. “We are really happy with how well Stellar Dawn has come together. The team has deftly blended art, content and technology to provide the entertaining, long-term game appeal that we have become famous for. As we approach the public launch next year we will be revealing many more details about the game to the community on stellardawn.com.”
Like Runescape, Stellar Dawn will be playable on any PC or Mac with an internet connection and a current browser. A large portion of the game will be free-to-play.
