The world of gaming often surprises us with how even the most niche titles can draw massive crowds to fan events. This is precisely what happened at RuneFest 2025, a celebration of the beloved MMORPG, RuneScape, marking its first such event since 2019. Fans and developers alike gathered in excitement, and the event was brimming with announcements that promise to enrich the gaming experience across both Old School RuneScape and the mainline RuneScape.
For fans of Old School RuneScape, the excitement is palpable with the introduction of three major new features. First and foremost, the game will see its first new skill in years with the addition of Sailing. This skill will allow players to navigate the seas using various nautical vessels, opening up a whole new dimension of gameplay. Alongside Sailing, seasoned players can look forward to challenging new endgame content, including the formidable boss, Yama. And for those who appreciate aesthetics, an HD upgrade is on the horizon, promising to enhance the visual experience without straying from the game's cherished low-poly charm.
But that's not all RuneFest 2025 had in store. Old School RuneScape's Project Zanaris introduces a modding platform, and playtest sign-ups are now open, inviting players to shape the future of the game. Meanwhile, mainline RuneScape is set to launch RuneScape Leagues, offering fresh challenges and rewards to keep players engaged.
And let's not forget about Havenhythe, the new region coming to mainline RuneScape. Here, players will face off against deadly Vampyres in new bosses, explore new locations, and engage in a variety of skilling activities. This expansive new content promises to keep players hooked well into 2026.
RuneScape continues to set the standard for MMORPG action on mobile devices. However, if you're looking for something different, why not explore the top 7 smartphone games similar to World of Warcraft? There's a whole world of mobile MMOs waiting to be discovered.
