Jagex, the developer of the popular MMO RuneScape, is working on a new numbered sequel called RuneScape 4, or RS4. This development began as an expansion for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the first game in the series released in 2027. The project is being built using Unreal Engine, a move that will allow Jagex to test the technology in a more extensive franchise setting.
RS4's development team is still in its early stages, and the game is not set to launch for several years. The teaser trailer shows a fantasy world with a town in a green valley, a dragon rider under attack, and floating islands. However, little information is available about the game's systems, combat, scale, or online structure.
The studio has not revealed which platforms the game will be available on or how it will monetize the new experience. RuneScape 4 will begin years after Dragonwilds and return players to the Ashenfall region introduced in the survival game. Despite the lack of details, Jagex is confident in its new technical foundation, which will support a large player base and provide a modern MMO experience.
