JAGEX PARTNERS TO PUBLISH ‘THIS MEANS WARP’

Jagex, the leader in developing and publishing deep, community-driven video games today announced that it has signed a deal with Irish/Canadian indie developer Outlier Games to publish the studio’s inaugural game, the spaceship management roguelike This Means Warp. The game is set to be released on PC via Steam Early Access on March 17th 2022. Designed with multiplayer and replayability at its core, This Means Warp encourages players to cooperate and think tactically in hectic, real-time space battles, and adopt shrewd strategies as they guide their ship through a hostile, procedurally generated universe. Taking inspiration from roguelikes such as FTL and party games such as the Overcooked series, This Means Warp sees players control crew members onboard a ship, manning different systems, targeting weapons and conducting repairs, and ultimately charting a course through the treacherous void of space. This Means Warp is the first game to be developed by Outlier Games, an independent studio founded by Paul Froggatt and Matt Rathbun in 2018, based in Dublin, Ireland, and Toronto, Canada. It will be the third game to be published by Jagex Partners, the publishing arm of the British game developer of deep, community-driven games and best known for the RuneScape franchise. Jagex Partners will be providing additional resources, marketing support and its extensive publishing experience throughout This Means Warp’s launch and commercial lifecycle. Read More
