RuneFest 2025: Jagex Reveals 2027 Roadmaps for RuneScape, OSRS, Dragonwilds & New MMO

Jagex unveiled massive 2027 roadmaps for Old School RuneScape, RuneScape, Dragonwilds, and a new MMO, plus a RuneScape 4 tease and an animated adaptation featuring MoistCr1TiKaL.
Did you catch the RuneFest bombshells? Jagex just dropped a truckload of news, and if you're a RuneScape fan, your head might be spinning. The annual fan event revealed massive 2027 roadmaps for Old School RuneScape, RuneScape, and Dragonwilds—plus a brand-new MMO and a RuneScape 4 tease. Oh, and an animated adaptation starring Charlie White, aka MoistCr1TiKaL. Yeah, it's a lot.
Let's break it down. First up, Old School RuneScape is getting a full redesign. That's right—a 25-year-old game is getting a fresh look. Details are still slim, but Jagex promises it's not just a coat of paint. For a game that's built on nostalgia, a redesign is a bold move. Will it bring in new players or upset the veterans? Only time will tell.
But that's not all. RuneScape itself is getting massive new updates throughout 2027. The roadmap is packed, though Jagex didn't spill every bean just yet. What we do know is that the studio is going big across all its titles. Dragonwilds, the survival game set in the RuneScape universe, is also on the list for major 2027 content. If you've been enjoying its early access, expect plenty more to come.
And then there's the elephant in the room: a new MMO. Jagex confirmed they're working on an entirely new MMO, separate from RuneScape and Old School. That's huge. Could it be a new IP or another RuneScape spinoff? We don't know yet, but it's a clear sign Jagex isn't resting on its laurels.
Speaking of not resting, RuneScape 4 is also on the way. That's right—a proper sequel. No release date, but the mere mention sent shockwaves through the community. After 25 years, a new numbered entry is a big deal. What will it look like? Will it carry over your progress? We'll have to wait for more details.
Finally, the animated adaptation. Charlie White, better known as MoistCr1TiKaL, is attached to the project. If you know his content, you know he's got a deep love for RuneScape. Having him involved adds a layer of authenticity that fans will appreciate. No word on where it'll air or when, but it's happening.
So, what do you think? Are you hyped for a redesigned Old School, a new MMO, or RuneScape 4? Or are you worried Jagex is spreading itself too thin? Let us know in the comments—and start saving those bonds, because 2027 is going to be expensive.
