00:00A brand new RuneScape MMO was just announced, and Jagex left us with a huge twist that nobody saw coming.
00:06They officially revealed RuneScape 4 at RuneFest, which is going to be a brand new, full-scale MMO built from
00:11the ground up in Unreal Engine.
00:13They have not shown any real gameplay so far, but there was still tons of interesting news about it, so
00:18here is everything you need to know.
00:19This time, we are not starting in Lumbridge or Varric.
00:22The story drops us into Ashenfall, years after the Dragon Queen's fall in Dragon Wilds,
00:26which basically confirms Dragon Wilds wasn't just a random spin-off, but was setting up this entire new era for
00:32the franchise.
00:33Now, if you're worried about your old RuneScape accounts, you don't have to be.
00:36The developers explicitly confirmed this isn't replacing any existing game.
00:40Old School and RuneScape 3 are keeping their dedicated teams and will get new content updates,
00:44while RuneScape 4 sits alongside them as its own standalone experience with permanent progression.
00:48With no platforms, no release date, or gameplay shown, this announcement still feels like it's ages away,
00:53and we probably won't see much of it for the foreseeable future.
00:56So what do you think?
00:57Are you ditching Old School RuneScape for it, or staying with the original?
