Summary

Jagex announced a new RuneScape MMORPG, codenamed RS4, built in Unreal Engine and set in Gielinor's Sixth Age, starting in Ashenfall. It will be an additional experience alongside existing games, developed with early community involvement, but is still years away.

  • A new RuneScape MMORPG (RS4) is in early development.
  • The game is being built using Unreal Engine.
  • It will coexist with existing RuneScape titles, not replace them.
  • Development will be community-driven from the project's inception.

RuneScape fans will care about the future of the franchise, and game developers might be interested in the strategy of early community involvement for a major title.
