New RuneScape MMORPG in Development
Jagex has announced the development of a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set within the RuneScape universe. The project, currently referred to as RS4, is being built using Unreal Engine. This marks the fourth generation of RuneScape projects for the developer.
Early Community Involvement
The decision to announce RS4 at an early stage of development was made to involve the player community from the outset. Jagex plans to incorporate player feedback throughout the development process, drawing on lessons learned from previous RuneScape titles and the community co-development approach.
Expanding the RuneScape Universe
RS4 is not intended to replace existing RuneScape games like Old School RuneScape or the main RuneScape title. Instead, it will offer an additional experience within the Gielinor world, aiming to make the overall RuneScape universe larger. Each existing game will continue to receive dedicated support and development.
Setting and Lore
The new MMORPG will be set in Gielinor during the Sixth Age, specifically focusing on the region of Ashenfall. This area was first introduced in RuneScape: Dragonwilds and is located northeast of Gielinor. The storyline of RS4 will take place years after the events depicted in Dragonwilds.
