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

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

Several more Grandmaster quests to come

 * One of the Grandmaster quests Jagex has since released is Nomad's Requiem, on 11 January 2010. However, this is not the mentioned quest, as none of the requirements for Nomad's Requiem are level 80 or above, simply recommended to be that high. Another quest, The Void Stares Back, has been released, but it only has one requirement at 80, and not 'several.' Mod Ash confirmed two requirements for The Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest: 83 Fletching and 78 Woodcutting. This could very well be the quest they referred to.

Mod Mark has also stated that Ritual of the Mahjarrat will be released 2011, a grandmaster quest finishing the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat series, continuing the Rise of Lucien series.

Also, there will be a grandmaster quest that concludes the Red Axe series.

One more quest in the Dwarf storyline
The final quest of the dwarf storyline will be a grandmaster quest, possibly released after Ritual of the Mahjarrat.

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.]

The Ritual of the Mahjarrat
This is a planned future Grandmaster quest, and has been confirmed to be the final quest of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series and will be released early 2011. :

Capes of Distinction
Capes of Distinction developer blog was released on 17 March 2011 that introduced new types of capes, including, but not limited to:


 * Veteran cape - a cape that any player can wear if their account is more than 5 years old (or 10 in the future)

With these also new graphics and emotes will be introduced.

Tasks set and more Equipment slots


Additionally, a Developer's Blog was posted announcing there would eventually be another diary giving out the legwear for the Achievement Diary set, but it is not due anytime soon and no location has been announced.

Dragon kiteshield
FireBoltsTanker - There will be a Dragon Kite added to the game at some point, however we are still waiting for a suitably epic way of adding it to the game.

Confirmed in a comment on Thejagexchannel YouTube channel.

Graphical Updates for Trolls, Gnomes and Dwarves
“What happened to the dwarf graphical update? Will we be seeing it soon?” Mod John A: Alas, the dwarf rework keeps being pushed back because of other Graphics priorities. It will come out eventually but I can’t say when.

Mod Mark: The “chat head” part of the rework has been live for some months (that’s the face you see in the chat box when talking to a dwarf), but sadly the full rework of the dwarves will have to wait. We’ve found other races in even greater need of a graphical rework, for example, the gnomes and trolls, both of which are being worked on right now.


 * The gnome graphical update was released on 9 February with The Prisoner of Glouphrie quest while the trolls graphical update on 15 March.

Tools for Clans
A blog was released on 7 December 2010 explaining updates which will support clans' system. Among the features to be released was mentioned separation of clan members list from friends list.

On 7 February 2011 another blog was released. It was mentined in this blog that the new clan chat will restrict players to only being ranked in one clan at a time. Mod Chihiro later confirmed that the existing system would be kept exactly as it is for all other users of the clan chat system.

Clan Camp
As part of the planned update to the clan chat, a new area south of Falador will be added which will be dedicated specifically for clans. It will include a new type of clan wars, as well as a place to sign up to the new clan chat system.

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.



Less Restricted Movement
In a recent engine team Q&A Jagex confirmed details improving movement to be less restricted to grids.
