Developer and publisher of Runescape, Jagex has just been bought by Macarthur Fortune Holding, a company specializing in asset management, according to information from Gamasutra.
Against the sum of 530 million dollars
, Jagex therefore leaves the fold of Shanghai Hongtou Network Technology, a Fukong Interactive subsidiary, who had acquired the developer four years ago for 230 million of dollars. As the report
our colleagues, this redemption was the subject of many rumors last summer, but Jagex had covered himself up by indicating that it was only one of the options
possible. On the studio side, we simply declare the continuation of the works with the support of Macarthur, while the buyer specifies that the investment will be mainly directed towards R&D and marketing for new players to discover Runescape.
