Jagex announced RuneScape 4, a new online game built in Unreal Engine.

Jagex revealed the new online game at the RuneFest 2026 fan event.

The article says the series is leaving older custom clients for a modern engine.

The setting remains the fantasy world of Gielinor, with familiar places rebuilt at a larger scale.

Planned changes include quests, combat, character options, fewer loading screens, and dynamic lighting.

Players who want the classic game get RuneScape Reignited, set to launch on December 2.

Reignited is described as a relaunch with stability and quality-of-life updates.

Jagex is also working with Lyrical Animation on a television series, with a well-known creator attached.

The piece says alpha tests and more series details are expected in the coming months.
