Jagex Studio, known for the popular game RuneScape, has officially been acquired by CVC Capital Partners and Haveli Investments. Although the transaction amount has not been publicly disclosed, it is speculated to be around £900 million. This interesting development comes as a surprise, as the current owner, Carlyle Group, acquired Jagex Studio just three years ago.
CVC Capital Partners is a renowned private equity firm that manages assets with a total value of €118 billion. Also known for its investments in the sports industry, CVC Capital Partners previously owned a majority stake in Formula 1 and currently holds shares in the Six Nations Rugby Championship. The acquisition of Jagex Studio marks another investment in the entertainment industry for them.
Jagex is a British studio based in Cambridge, which, in addition to RuneScape, has two other games under its belt, This Means Warp and Melvor Idle. While these titles have not gained much recognition, RuneScape enjoys immense popularity and has a loyal community of players.
The acquisition of Jagex Studio is a significant event in the video game market. It opens up new possibilities for the developers and may influence the future of the RuneScape brand. We eagerly await how the new owners will further develop the studio and what innovations it will bring for the game’s fans. We hope that this new era will bring exciting changes and even greater success for Jagex Studio.
