McClarty says Jagex has been laying the foundations for RuneScape on mobile for quite a while, together with work on the tech side throughout the last two decades also underpinning the new RuneScape gold mobile versions and making them viable options.

McClarty claims that RuneScape will offer near enough the exact same experience as its PC counterpart. And, luckily due to previous decisions in the very conception of RuneScape, the controller scheme shouldn't feel too alien to PC players.

"I would really like to think that [Jagex founders] Andrew and Paul Gower might see in the future and saw that in 16 years' time mobile are what it is now and that they picked click and point mechanic since it could lend itself so well to telephones," states McClarty. "Thankfully those two items have aligned and really the conventional point and click that we have had on PC does immediately lend itself to click and point with your finger, which is great.

"The match itself will probably have all the content which you may play PC. The biggest change is it is just a really high degree UX and UI in terms of the menu, just to match that size of screen. But the goal is to get an almost complete similar variant of everything you could do on PC."
