Lyrical Animation, the studio behind the upcoming Bloodborne film produced by Jacksepticeye, has announced a new partnership with YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL for an adaptation of the MMORPG RuneScape. The collaboration was revealed on October 6, 2026, marking the creator’s latest move into long-form storytelling beyond his usual commentary and satire content.
MoistCr1TiKaL, known online as penguinz0 and Charlie White, brings his deep familiarity with gaming lore and community-driven narratives to the project. His involvement signals Lyrical Animation’s continued strategy of partnering with creator personalities who possess authentic connections to the source material, following their work with Jacksepticeye on the Bloodborne film.
The adaptation is being developed in collaboration with Jagex, the UK-based developer and publisher of RuneScape, ensuring creative alignment with the game’s two-decade-long narrative history. While specific plot details, timelines, or production roles have not been disclosed, the partnership emphasizes a creator-led approach to translating expansive game worlds into cinematic format.
This project reflects a growing trend where studios seek out influential creators not just for promotion, but for narrative stewardship in video game adaptations. By anchoring the RuneScape film in a voice trusted by gaming audiences, Lyrical Animation aims to bridge the gap between developer intent and fan expectations.
As both the Bloodborne and RuneScape adaptations progress, they represent a broader shift in how gaming IP is brought to film—less through traditional Hollywood pipelines, and more through creator-developer synergies that prioritize community resonance. Further updates on casting, format, or release windows are expected as development continues.
