October 4, 2026 - 02:24

Jagex used its RuneFest 2026 stage to make one of its biggest announcements in years. The studio confirmed that a brand new RuneScape MMO is in development, marking the fourth major entry in the long running franchise. The reveal came during a packed presentation that also detailed fresh content for the company's existing games.

The new project does not yet have a release window, but Jagex described it as a full scale MMO built from the ground up. Few gameplay specifics were shared, though the studio framed the title as a significant step forward for the series rather than a spin off or side project. Fans can expect more information in the months ahead.

Alongside the headline reveal, Jagex outlined upcoming updates for RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. These include new quest lines, boss encounters, and quality of life improvements that the community has requested for some time. Seasonal events and anniversary celebrations are also planned.

RuneFest returned as an in person event this year, drawing players from around the world. The atmosphere reflected a franchise that continues to evolve while holding onto the audience that has supported it for over two decades. With a new MMO on the horizon and steady support for current titles, Jagex is signaling that RuneScape is not slowing down anytime soon.
