RuneScape's RuneFest 2025, the first since 2019, was a massive celebration for fans and developers alike! This year's event brought exciting news for both Old School RuneScape and the mainline RuneScape.
Old School RuneScape players are in for a treat with three major updates. First, get ready to hoist the sails! A brand-new Sailing skill is arriving, complete with various nautical vessels to explore. Experienced players will face a formidable challenge with the addition of the fearsome Yama boss. And finally, an HD upgrade will enhance the visuals without compromising the game's classic low-poly aesthetic.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! RuneFest 2025 also unveiled Project Zanaris, a new modding platform for Old School RuneScape, with playtest sign-ups now open. Mainline RuneScape players will also enjoy the introduction of Leagues.
For even more adventure, RuneScape is introducing Havenhythe, a thrilling new region teeming with deadly Vampyres. Prepare for challenging new bosses, unique locations, engaging skilling activities, and a wealth of quests to keep you occupied well into 2026. This expansive update offers a huge amount of fresh content.
