Modern technology, old-school experience
RuneScape’s been around forever. Since first releasing in 2001, Jagex’s browser-based MMORPG has quietly built a huge player base. To many, months (or years) spent adventuring acrossRuneScapeare a defining experience; an introduction to the breadth and scope of online gaming that players could grow up alongside.
And now, a new generation of players will have a chance to experienceRuneScapein an entirely different way. By next year,RuneScapewill launch on mobile devices on tablets, effectively ushering the unabashedly old-school MMO into the modern era.
According to Jagex, the mobile version ofRuneScapewill be the same game “you know and love,” optimized for phones and tablets. Players can switch between the desktop version andRuneScape Mobileseamlessly, allowing dedicated players to keep all their hard-earned progress.
The portable version ofRuneScape‘s “Old School” mode — a continually updated version of the game’s first form — will be available before the end of the year.RuneScape Mobilewill launch in 2018.
