New engine and release timing

The upcoming project will utilize the Unreal Engine for its graphics. Jagex plans to share further information about the game next year.

Setting and existing titles

This new MMO is set in the Sixth Age, occurring years after RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The studio stated that RS4 will sit alongside older games rather than replacing them.

Development history changes

The project was originally intended as an expansion named Shadows of Ashenfall. Development shifted to create a standalone title similar to past MMO entries.
