Author : Natalie Apr 05,2025

In the vibrant world of gaming, where even the biggest franchises might host modest events, the cult classics and esports darlings often shine with massive fan gatherings. This is precisely the case with RuneFest 2025, a grand celebration for the beloved MMORPG, RuneScape, marking its first such event since 2019.

RuneFest 2025 isn't just a nod to the dedicated fans and developers; it's a treasure trove of exciting new features. Old School RuneScape is set to introduce three major updates that promise to enrich the gameplay experience. The highlight is the introduction of Sailing, the first new skill in the game, allowing players to explore the seas with a variety of nautical vessels. Alongside Sailing, players can look forward to challenging new endgame content, including the formidable boss, Yama. Additionally, an HD upgrade will enhance the visual appeal of Old School RuneScape while preserving its iconic low-poly charm.

For fans of the mainline RuneScape, the introduction of RuneScape Leagues offers a fresh way to engage with the game. And let's not forget the new region of Havenhythe, where players can battle deadly Vampyres, explore new locations, and participate in skilling activities. This new area promises a wealth of content and quests to keep players engaged well into 2026.

When it comes to MMORPGs on mobile devices, RuneScape continues to set the standard. However, if you're looking for alternatives, why not explore the top 7 smartphone games similar to World of Warcraft? These titles offer a variety of MMOs that you can enjoy on the go.
