Yama: A challenging new endgame boss encounter designed for veteran players.
HD Upgrade: A visual enhancement providing a boost to the game's graphics without compromising its classic low-poly aesthetic.

Beyond the Waves:

RuneFest 2025 unveiled even more:

Project Zanaris Modding Platform: A new modding platform for OSRS, with playtesting now available.
RuneScape Leagues (Mainline): The popular Leagues mode makes its way to the core RuneScape game.
