In more industry related news from this year’s GamesCom, currently being hosted in Cologne, Frogster nabbed the contract for the global publishing rights to a new MMORPG that is being developed by Runewaker, the makers of Runes of Magic. Runewalker has said that the planned online role-playing game of the next generation is aimed to set new standards in design, technology, features and sheer dimension.   Don’t expect to see it anytime soon though, it is still very much in conceptual phase and will not be released until around 2013.

Its really not too much of a surprise that Frogster landed the deal, as they have done great things with Runes of Magic bringing it to 1.6 million registered users.

“Because of the very positive and successful collaboration in publishing, producing and game design for Runes of Magic, we have agreed upon an intensified cooperation for our new MMORPG project with Frogster already in this early stage. We can’t really reveal much about our new online role-playing world now, but it will surpass current game worlds in many aspects”, commented John and Tony Tang of Runewaker Entertainment on the signing of the contract.
