The following is a list of upcoming updates, derived from official Jagex content:

New and Final Slayer master
The 3rd of October a player asked in Mod Mark's friends chat if they could have Glacors/Tormented demons as Slayer task, and Mod Mark responded, maybe one day. Then, he said: "Id like to think theres room for a final slayer master." This could mean that we're not only getting a new Slayer master, but also the last.



Dungeoneering
Mod Emilee hinted a Daemonheim 'finale' in the Game Updates FAQ for the Warped Floors.


 * Mod Mark confirmed the Daemonheim 'finale' will not be released in 2011.

Construction
In a development blog, Mod Mark commented that Jagex was planning to release many more rooms and the Menagerie was only the start. What the new rooms could be is unknown.

Runecrafting minigame
At Runefest 2011, attendees were able to vote on which skill update of the options offered they wanted to see released into the game in 2012. The winner was a Runecrafting minigame that would take place in a factory-type setting and not involve running to altars. It would also include an update to the Wicked hood and the ability to combine pouches.

Several more Grandmaster quests to come
Jagex has since released three Grandmaster quests: Nomad's Requiem, on 11 January 2010; The Void Stares Back, on 6 October 2010; Ritual of the Mahjarrat, on 14 September 2011. However, none of these quests have several level 80 requirements as stated by Mod Mark. In fact, the only level 80 requirement among these three quests is level 80 Magic, in The Void Stares Back.

In the Game Update FAQ for 05/07/11, Mod Osbourne said the following when asked about the low level requirements for Salt in the Wound:


 * The last line implies that, there will also be one or more grandmaster quests in the Elf and Myreque quest series.

Also, a grandmaster quest would conclude the Rise of the Red Axe series.

Myreque quest series
Branches of Darkmeyer won't be the last Myreque quest confirmed by Mod Ana.

One more quest in the Dwarf storyline
The final quest of the dwarf storyline will be a grandmaster quest.

Penguin Quest 3
Another quest in the Penguin series has been confirmed. On 26 May 2010 in a Jagex video called Inside Jagex - Content Developer Q&A the penguins quest was talked about, while in the scene on one of the screens was artwork of the motherland, with a ship crashed into an iceberg, also seen is a unknown image of what looks to be a monster in the ice, possibly the master of the mother of the motherland, this is all that is known right now. [Confirmed by Mod Nancy at RuneFest2010 that this was some artwork sent in by a fan.] Mod Nancy recently re-confirmed that the title "Goldflipper" was still her favorite title. However, the final title was confirmed at RuneFest 2011 to be Some Like It Cold.

More Elemental Workshop Quests
In the Game Update FAQ for Elemental Workshop IV, Mods Dylan and Mark have confirmed more quests being planned.

Mourning's Ends Part III
The ninth quest in the Elf series, the currently unsubtitled Mourning's Ends Part III, is to be released in 2012 or 2013, according to RuneFest 2011. There is little known about it, other than the fact access to Prifddinas will be granted as a reward, and it will be released alongside the Elf Task Diary.

Tasks set and more Equipment slots



 * One of these new slots is the aura slots, it is unconfirmed if that is the only slot mentioned. Additionally, a Developer's Blog was posted announcing there would eventually be another diary giving out the legwear for the task set, but it is not due anytime soon and no location has been announced.

Dragon kiteshield
Confirmed in a comment on Thejagexchannel YouTube channel.

Armour graphical update
Sneak peeks at RuneFest 2011 including graphical updates for metal armour. It is currently unknown when these updated graphics will be released. In the updated dragon armor image, there are three concept drawings that look like dragon kiteshields.

Burthorpe graphical update
It was announced in the 14 June 2011 Recent Update FAQ that Burthorpe will receive a graphical update sometime in the future.

Dwarves' graphical update



 * Gnomes and trolls received a graphical update both a while ago, so an update for dwarves might come soon.

Multi-Core Support
On a thread made by a player concerning Frames Per Second (FPS) and Multi-Core support on the day of release of Z-Buffering, Mod Chris E confirmed it is implemented but disabled.



Daemonheim tasks
After a leak in game that showed Daemonheim in the task set, Mod Mark confirmed that Daemonheim tasks are in the works.

New Slayer Dungeon
The dungeon will be released in November of 2011.

More Bank space
In the Game Update FAQ for the new Prayer renewal potion, Mod Mark mentioned plans to improve item storage features regarding bank space.

In the 4 October update the Wise Old Man's junk-searching feature was updated to include a few members' quest items.

Random Events Rework
In the Player Feedback Library, Jagex answered on a question that they would like to rework the Random Events.

More Voice Acting and Real Instruments
After the positive reception of One Piercing Note, Mod Lord announced that the audio team plans to make use of real instruments and voice acting in future content.

New Website Look and Setup
A new look and setup for the website is set to be released in November.



Olympics
"The olympics are in London next year and we're a British company and we're very proud of it and we'd really like to do some stuff to do with the olympics next year. I'd like to come up with a whole load of different events and different games where you win those gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals. The whole different versions of things in the olympic games, but just a bit more runescapey. So I was thinking about the cycling. Cycling is a bit strange, and they have these teams sports where they're all cycling at the same time and they're trying to catch up with each other and it's kind of a weird relay race. So, imagine if you're on the back of a battle tortoise when you're doing that. How cool would that be? You've got a bunch of people all on battle tortoises running around the track, handing a baton over to each other, you know watching their speed, or trying to work out how much energy they've consumed from running around the track. That's the kind of thing I'd really like to do. Of course javelin throwing would be a lot of fun, but I prefer the idea of kind of aiming at a goblin who's like running around on the track. So, you know distance is important you know, but penetration of goblin, you know? How far can you stick that javelin through your goblin? Is he embedded to the floor, can he move or not, that kind of thing. That's really what I'd like to do." Mod Mark http://www.youtube.com/user/runescape?blend=2&ob=4#p/f/0/djCprGZJzL8

Player-owned ports
In the RuneScape 2012 Highlights video, Mod Mark revealed that there will be player-owned ports added to the game at some point in the future. Players will have to build the port and a few houses to attract captains. After that, they'll have to give the captains various assignments. The captains will have to be paid with coins. As a reward, the captain will find so-called 'recipes', methods with which players will be able to make several high leveled items.
