As part oftoday’sRuneScapeAhead, developer Jagex revealed the upcoming roadmap for the popular MMORPGRuneScape, through the rest of 2024 and into 2025. Players can expect to see 110 skilling updates, new combat bosses, new storylines, a highly requested new area expansion, and the addition of the highly-anticipated Group Ironman mode.
The new Group Ironman mode will allow up to five friends to start a brand newRuneScapeadventure without any sort of XP bonuses and without the ability to benefit in any way from players outside of the group they start with. In an effort to make the mode more functional, those participating in Group Ironman mode will have access to Group Storage as well as unique rewards including cosmetics and milestone capes. The new mode is expected to be released later this year alongside the new Harvest Hollow seasonal event and the addition of a new Necromancy Conjure Ability titled Phantom Guardian.
Before the new mode, players can expect to see the release of an all-new boss dungeon called the Sanctum of Rebirth alongside a skilling update to 110 Mining and Smithing, and a new skilling boss titled Gate of Elidnis with its own launch event and story quest.
Heading into 2025, 110 Runecrafting and Crafting will also get a skilling update, as well as a skilling rebalance and the addition of two new story quests and a new combat bass, the Amascut Showdown. Finally, in late 2025, a new area expansion is planned for release inRuneScape.
