The Jagex company developed RuneScape in 2001, which is one of the most successful MMORPGs of the past few decades. Now the team is looking for alpha testers for a new project that will also be part of the RuneScape universe.

What kind of project is this? According to a post from Jagex officials on This is also known:

  • The game uses the current Unreal Engine 5.
  • The alpha takes place on PC (Steam) and Discord access is required.
  • It was confirmed for the first time in June 2022 that Jagex was working on a survival game (via mmorpg.com).

    • However, no further details can be gleaned from the current post and survey. The developers would like to know, for example, whether the potential participants know RuneScape or Old School RuneScape, what genres they like and what kind of PC system they would like to take part in the test with.

    The RuneScape universe should continue to grow

    RuneScape is old, why should it be a top MMORPG? RuneScape may be 23 years old, but it is still one of the most popular and successful online role-playing games on the market today. In the course of the takeover of developer Jagex in January 2024 it was said:

  • More than 300 million accounts have been created for RuneScape
  • the MMORPG has generated more than a billion US dollars in sales

    • RuneScape, similar to World of Warcraft, has been flanked by a strong classic variant for several years: Old School RuneScape. In the MeinMMO news review from September 7, 2024 you could read that that nostalgic version was once again able to enjoy strong player numbers: 160,352 players were online in the MMORPG oldie at the same time.

    It’s no surprise that the studio behind the successful MMORPG, Jagex, would like to further expand the RuneScape universe. Four years ago there were reports that a next-gen MMORPG and an action RPG were being developed for the IP – it is unclear what became of the two projects: A new MMORPG is being created and comes from experts – That’s why you should be happy.
