Twenty-five years ago, the first adventurers set foot in Gielinor. This year marks the start of new adventures, new content, and new experiences for us to share together across RuneScape, Old School RuneScape and RuneScape: Dragonwilds. With that, we have a packed calendar of events, announcements, and nostalgia lined up to mark RuneScape’s 25th anniversary.
We’re kicking things off today with a special cross-game celebration video. It offers a first look at the year ahead, shaped by deeper investment across all three games, a renewed focus on player driven developments, and some of the most ambitious content and live experiences we’ve built in a long time, all giving you plenty of ways to enjoy your time in Gielinor... and there might even be a few surprises along the way!
