We're working on a new RuneScape MMO

Jagex has announced a new RuneScape MMORPG, currently using the working title RS4, built in Unreal Engine and set in Gielinor’s Sixth Age. The project is presented as an additional way to experience the world rather than a replacement for RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, or Dragonwilds. Development will draw on technical work from Dragonwilds and the community-driven approaches used on the other games; core design principles include integrity and permanent progression. The studio deliberately revealed the project early to involve players from the start - sharing ideas, testing, and co-developing features - rather than keeping it behind closed doors.

The new game will begin in Ashenfall, a region first seen in Dragonwilds, taking place years after the Dragon Queen Kuldra’s defeat, with plans to expand into familiar and new areas of Gielinor over time. Many concrete details - platforms, account linking, membership model, progression systems, combat and skills - are undecided and will be shared later; the team says the game is still several years away. Interested players can register to receive updates and participate in development as more information is released next year.
