Jagex Partners With Improbable To Use SpatialOS In Future Projects
the nebulous NextGen leak?" I can hear you ask. The answer is that we don't know.
What we do know is that Jagex is planning to use SpatialOS in at least one future project. Given that, I'm inclined to say that whatever is being planned is rather ambitious. However, no details about said project or projects were given.
Improbable CEO and co-founder Herman Narula had the following to say about the announcement.
Jagex has already made RuneScape an iconic brand in online gaming, and it's great to be partnering with them to bring new levels of depth and scale to Jagex's future creations by providing SpatialOS as a platform. From catching the first fish on Tutorial Island in 2001 to hunting for loot in the Wilderness, RuneScape and the world of Gielinor have given millions of players great stories to tell. We're excited to see what such an experienced team with this established and well-loved IP will be able to do with our platform, which enables greater player density, larger and more detailed worlds and new forms of emergent gameplay.
Jagex COO and acting CEO Phil Mansell also provided a statement.
As a studio, we have online gaming at heart and we've always looked for technology that can help to deliver the best possible experience for our players. We're looking forward to working with Improbable and discovering the advancements the SpatialOS platform can bring to multiplayer gaming.
We will be sure to keep you updated as more information is unveiled.
