Jagex has announced a fourth MMO in the RuneScape series.
Jagex has announced a fourth MMO in the RuneScape series.
The short version
- After revealing the new game at RuneFest in Birmingham over the weekend, the developer also announced a new RuneScape animated adaptation, made in partnership with YouTuber Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL" White, is also on the way.
- The new MMO, currently going by the working title RS4, is still in early development, with Jagex saying it's at least a few years from release and has yet to settle on an official name.
- A numbered sequel might seem like the obvious name given RuneScape's history.
What happened
The game was rebranded RuneScape 2 in 2004 and RuneScape 3 in 2013 before Jagex abandoned numbering altogether, folding everything back into a single live service. These days, the RuneScape stable also includes Old School RuneScape and spin-off RuneScape: Dragonwilds , both still active and separate from whatever RS4 eventually becomes.
Why it matters
Jagex hasn't committed to calling the new game RuneScape 4, numbered or otherwise.
