  "account": "RuneFest 2026 concluded, delivering a wealth of information regarding Jagex's upcoming projects. The most significant announcement was the development of RuneScape 4, an MMO built on Unreal Engine. Although the release date remains undisclosed, a teaser trailer is available for viewing.\n\nIn conjunction with YouTuber Charlie White, also known as MoistCr1TiKaL, and production company Lyrical Media, Jagex unveiled plans for a new RuneScape animated adaptation. However, details about the project and its release date are yet to be revealed.\n\nRuneScape Reignited, set to launch on December 2, aims to reignite interest among dormant players and excite existing ones. It features a Remastered Journey and Adventure Guide, a revamped economy, and new high scores. Players can obtain full Reignited Access for a limited time without a membership, starting from December 2 to 12. The Plugin API is also set to launch this month, allowing players to preview the feature before its official release.\n\nJagex has also unveiled an extensive roadmap for the upcoming year, spanning three story arcs and three games. In RuneScape 4, players can look forward to Hoard of Dragons in January, a sequel to Dragon Slayer, City of Gnomes continuing the gnome storyline, and Secrets of Karamja introducing a new endgame raid. Old School RuneScape will see the Golden Gates to Menaphos opening after 20 years, alongside a suite of fan-requested content. The Fractured Archive, a new endgame raid, will launch on October 20, and an Agility skill rework, new skilling and solo bosses, new area expansions, and a new Grandmaster Quest will be introduced in the following months.",
