Sepreth(@Sepreth):Jagex revealed a fourth RuneScape MMO at RuneFest in Birmingham. RuneScape: Dragonwilds executive producer Jesse America said the project “essentially would be an MMO, and that it deserved its own game.” It started as a Dragonwilds expansion called Shadows of Ashenfall, after players asked for more social systems. Once the prototypes added persistent servers and player trading, the scope no longer fit an expansion, so Jagex moved it to Unreal Engine as its own game. America called it the studio’s fourth pillar, which means RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, and Dragonwilds stay supported rather than getting replaced. Still very early. No release window yet.
