Jagex announced the next game during RuneFest, its annual convention for all things RuneScape, with a working title of RS4 and an accompanying trailer.<\/p>\n<p>While the minute-long video doesn&#8217;t reveal much about the latest MMO, it looks like players will be able to ride and fight dragons. RS4 will add to\u00a0Jagex&#8217;s roster of RuneScape games, including <em>RuneScape<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Old<\/em><em>\u00a0School RuneScape<\/em> and <em>RuneScape: Dragonwilds<\/em>. Notably, Jagex said that the upcoming title isn&#8217;t meant to replace any of the older titles, explaining that it&#8217;s &#8220;designing RS4 to sit alongside them as an additional way to experience RuneScape and the world of Gielinor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RuneScape - Official 4th MMO Teaser Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GnPHYaNloW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While the new MMO will still be set in the same world, Jagex explained that RS4 takes place in the Sixth Age, years after the events of <em>RuneScape: Dragonwilds<\/em>. Players will start in the Ashenfall area that was first revealed in the <em>RuneScape: Dragonwilds<\/em> game, which served as Jagex&#8217;s expansion into the open-world survival genre. Interestingly, RS4 was originally conceived as an expansion to\u00a0<em>RuneScape: Dragonwilds<\/em> called <em>Shadows of Ashenfall<\/em>, but the development process ended up with a game that was more similar\u00a0to Jagex&#8217;s past MMO games, leading to the pivot to creating a standalone game, according to\u00a0<em>Polygon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no indication of when the fourth RuneScape entry will be released, but Jagex said that it&#8217;s a &#8220;hugely ambitious project and the game is still a few years away.&#8221; However, fans will have something to tide them over since Jagex also announced a RuneScape animated series that&#8217;s being developed by Lyrical Animation in partnership with YouTuber\u00a0MoistCr1TiKaL. The TV show&#8217;s development is still in the early stages but Jagex plans to share more details about it next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2276772\/a-fourth-runescape-game-is-under-development-using-unreal-engine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jagex says it will reveal more details about the game, tentatively named RS4, next year.
