Press release:
Cambridge, UK, 19 January 2023.
The Cambridge-based (the UK) world-famous video games publisher/developer Jagex (the makers of “RuneScape”) and indie games developer Games by Malcs, today announced with great excitement and happiness that “Melvor Idle: Expanded Edition” (the ultimate bundle for die-hard “RuneScape” fans) is coming to PC (via Steam) and mobile (iOS and Android devices) on February 2nd, 2023.

The Melvor Idle: Expanded Edition includes the original Melvor Idle as well as its first expansion Throne of the Herald. Players will experience a fresh take on much-loved and familiar idle gameplay in the ultimate bundle for die-hard RuneScape fans, casual gamers and young adventurers alike.

Melvor Idle allows fans to master 25 skills and face off against 200+ monsters with just a click or a tap. Every skill in this game serves a purpose, interacting together in interesting ways – meaning that maxing out on one skill can benefit others. Inspired by the iconic MMORPG RuneScape, players will find familiar skills such as Woodcutting, Smithing, Cooking and Farming, as well as combat skills such as Melee, Ranged and Magic skills.

The Throne of the Herald expansion adds plenty of additional content for players, including the ability to run a settlement with the Township skill. Throne of the Herald lets players discover more about the mystic forces that surround the lands of Melvor, and the dark forces that remain hidden beyond the Capital.

Melvor Idle: Expanded Edition Features:

A RuneScape-inspired experience suitable for veterans and newcomers alike.
The core game plus a massive expansion to the lore and story of Melvor.
In-depth and endless Combat system featuring eight dedicated skills, countless dungeons, bosses to vanquish and lore to unearth.

Detailed and fully interactive Bank/Inventory system.
Over 1,700 items for players to discover and utilise.
Cloud-saving functionality that is compatible across all platforms.
An experience that continues to grow through expansions.
