RuneScape is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most popular MMORPGs ever released, even setting a Guinness World record in the process. Now, after 23 years, this sprawling fantasy universe is finally making the jump to comics, and IGN can exclusively reveal the full details about RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars.
First, check out the slideshow gallery below for a look at the various covers for RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars, and then read on for more details about the new series:
RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars is a four-issue series produced in collaboration with Jagex. The series is written by Ryan O’Sullivan (Void Trip) and illustrated by Sid Kotian (Gambit) and Daniel Bayliss (RuneScape FCBD Edition). Cover artists include Kotian, Alan Quah, Ivan Shavrin, Alex Moore and RuneScape’s lead concept artist Dave Barker.
As the title suggests, Untold Tales of the God Wars delves deeper into the God Wars dungeon questline from the game, which deals with an epic battle between four factions for control of the mythical Godsword, a blade capable of slaying a god. The series focuses on Maro, a character caught in the middle of this violent conflict, and who yearns to break free from his master’s control.
RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1 will be released on October 9, 2024. Each physical copy of the series will come included with a DLC code for 200 Runecoins to use in the game. You can find preorder links for all the variant covers below:
