Jagex signs Hyper Hippo to make RuneScape clicker title

Hyper Hippo has become the first external developer to create a game based on the RuneScape IP after collaborating with franchise creator Jagex.

The studio is best known for its simulation game AdVenture Capitalist, which has been downloaded more than 10m times, and will create Runescape: Idle Adventures. It’s a so-called ‘idle’ game, meaning that little player input is required to progress. Think Cookie Clicker.

The game joins Jagex’s own card game tie-in Chronicle: RuneScape Legends in expanding the MMO’s universe.
