RuneScape's Future: Epic Dragon Battles in RS4!
4 Oct
Summary
- RuneScape's fourth major installment, codenamed RS4, is in development.
- The new MMO will be built using Unreal Engine, promising enhanced visuals.
- RS4 is a standalone title, not replacing existing RuneScape games.
The highly anticipated fourth major installment in the RuneScape saga, tentatively known as RS4, is officially under development. This ambitious new Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game is being built utilizing the powerful Unreal Engine, suggesting a significant leap in graphical fidelity and gameplay mechanics.
Jagex has confirmed that RS4 is designed to exist as a standalone title, meant to complement rather than replace existing RuneScape games like RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. This approach ensures players can continue to enjoy their current experiences while also venturing into a new era of Gielinor.
The upcoming MMO will be set in the Sixth Age, years after the events of RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and will begin in the Ashenfall area. Originally conceived as an expansion for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the project evolved into a distinct standalone game due to its scale and ambition. Development is ongoing, and the game is still several years away from its release.
In related news, Jagex also announced an upcoming RuneScape animated series, currently in its early stages of development by Lyrical Animation in partnership with YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL, with more details expected next year.
