Jagex, the Cambridge-based developers of Runescape, has announced that their annual turnover for 2012 eclipsed £50 million, making it the most successful year in the company's history.
Runescape remains the studio's flagship title, but the introduction of Ace of Spades and Carnage Racing has boosted turnover, and with Transformers Universe still to come, 2013 might well be just as successful.
Mark Gerhard, CEO at Jagex, said: "2012 was a pivotal year for Jagex and today's figures are a real testament to the whole Jagex team who have continued to over perform year after year."
"Jagex's success is a result of our community driven development focus," he added. "We have a unique approach to development at Jagex and continue to strive to make RuneScape the most player influenced game in the world, ensuring our player's get the content they want, when and where they want it. This ethos has paid dividends and has helped to position Jagex at the forefront of the UK development scene. Ultimately it is the support of our players that allow us to continue to be successful, and we look to continue to."
