Jagex made bold declarations about the future of RuneScape at this past weekend’s RuneFest in London.
2016 will be a big, big year for RuneScape. There will be no overarching theme – instead, our objective is a simple one. We want every update in 2016 to feel essential. We want you to be wowed by everything that we release, and that means a couple of significant changes.
Specifically, in response to player polling, the studio plans to switch to monthly major releases in addition to “smaller, regular” updates (sound familiar?). Those updates will include content voted on by the playerbase itself, beginning with a fresh solo-oriented God Wars Dungeon, a mining and smithing rework, a new storyline, more raids, a new invention skill, and a new game client, among about a zillion other features.
In other Jagex news, the company has just begun accepting closed beta registrations for Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, its RuneScape-themed online TCG. The beta is anticipated for November. We’ve got new pics and the trailer below.
