Jagex unveils fourth MMO in the RuneScape franchise, plus RuneScape Reignited, Old School Menaphos, and more

RuneFest, the world’s biggest celebration of the RuneScape franchise returned to Birmingham this weekend with a schedule packed full of announcements and premiere reveals of brand-new content coming to RuneScape, Old School RuneScape and RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

This year’s event, the largest RuneFest yet, welcomed over 6,000 fans to the NEC, Birmingham, was opened with an orchestral performance from the Manchester Video Game orchestra who were joined on stage by Mod Ash and delighted the audience with a performance of iconic RuneScape themes and songs.

Headlining RuneFest was the first glimpse of a new chapter for RuneScape: a fourth RuneScape MMO. Still early in development, the as-yet-unnamed title will bring the world of Gielinor to life in Unreal Engine, combining the depth, freedom and community-led spirit that have defined RuneScape for 25 years with the technology and game design possibilities of today.

Additionally, Jagex unveiled plans to expand RuneScape beyond games, partnering with creator Charlie White aka MoistCr1TiKaL as well as LA-based production business Lyrical Media, to bring the Gielinor to life in a new exciting animated adaption.

Finally major updates were revealed for the RuneScape games themselves, with each team unveiling ambitious roadmaps and plans for the year ahead. According to a press release, these are:

RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is available now for PC on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Jagex Launcher, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
