Jagex hosted the Old School RuneScape Summer 2026 Campfire on Twitch and YouTube on May 29th, unveiling the content roadmap for the year. The event revealed the June 30th release of 'Blood Moon Rising,' the grandmaster finale to the Myreque quest series, which has spanned over a decade.

'Blood Moon Rising' is the sixth and final grandmaster quest in the Myreque series, casting a blood-red moon across Gielinor from June 30th. Players will face Sir Rowaniel Drakan, former leader of the ancient Vyrewire vampyre kin and the last of the Blood Moons, who will stop at nothing to reclaim his former status and restore vampyres to their old ways. Entry into the Vampyreum will see players exploring dangerous environments, engaging in various activities in new skill training areas, and confronting the Magister, a repeatable solo boss.

This summer will also see the arrival of the player-designed island, Wyrdscrag, in the deep southwestern seas of Gielinor. This rugged isle, teeming with harsh mountain terrains and ferocious wildlife, will offer adventurers a new space to explore. Wyrdscrag will bring new quests, skilling activities like Goat Trawling and Golem Crafting, a new Slayer Master, and the repeatable boss, Mad Angel. Later this autumn, players can expect a new chapter in the Fremennik quest series, 'The Great Yak,' set to launch after 22 years. This will introduce new Agility updates in the frozen depths of the Wise Old Man's sea.

Later in the year, players will get their hands on 'The Fractured Archives,' the first new Gauntlet content in four years. This raid, steeped in the ancient Gielinorian lore of the Guthixians and left untouched for millennia, promises the most challenging difficulty yet, featuring a streamlined boss rush system and introducing new tier-one rewards. Players will battle eight bosses, including the colossal Vorkath and the Guthixian Archive Guardian. Jagex has teased more details to come via the Old School RuneScape community blog in the coming months.

Beyond these major updates, a new Bingo Community feature will be added, officially introducing the community-favourite Bingo system. This allows players to create their own challenges and run events where teams compete. Mobile client updates are also on the horizon, including mobile bank tags, Android Picture-in-Picture support, and a complete overhaul of the Menu Entry Swapper system. The New Renderer project continues its work to improve stability, performance, visuals, and mobile optimisation, with a second public test nearing.

Furthermore, a new PvP Tutorial project is being introduced to help players unfamiliar with PvP hone their skills in a risk-free environment. New game worlds are being rolled out to Singapore, Japan, and South Africa, following Brazil, to improve connectivity and ping for players in those regions. Throughout the summer, various quality-of-life updates are planned, including improvements to Hunter training, new Agility courses, equipment rebalancing buffs, and early-game item additions.

Among the upcoming major events is the return of Deadman Allstars Season 3. This event marks the first major PvP event in the history of Old School RuneScape to be held in the United States, pitting thirty RuneScape creators in six teams against each other on a custom PvP server. The finals are set to take place on June 20th at the Rosemont Theatre in Chicago and will be live-streamed on Twitch.

To celebrate RuneScape's 25th anniversary, Runefest 2026 will also be held. This event will feature two main stages for roadmap reveals and developer panels, a 'Skill Chips' area with eight new skill challenges, and a new questing feature where players can compete for prizes through Quest Points and leaderboard rankings. All attendees will receive a special goodie bag, including 25th-anniversary collectables, and immersive spaces recreating Gielinor's world, such as Lumbridge Market, Grand Exchange, and the Varrock Fountain, will be on display.

Old School RuneScape is currently available on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, with full cross-platform progression and play support.
