This article contains information about an upcoming update. It should consist only of facts from official Jagex releases and not speculation or predictions. For further details, see our future content policy.

This page is a list of upcoming RuneScape updates.
Skilling
Farming
Mod Easty is working on a rewrite of Farming code in RuneScape, including reworking how ticks work within the skill. This may allow for new quality of life features such as left-click planting (bypassing interfaces) and the previously scrapped Farming timer concept to be implemented.[1]
Combat
Hostilius
Mod Pi, in his TAPP time, is working on creating a new demon boss called Hostilius that players will have to kill "from the inside out". The fight will scale to the number of players in a group (or solo). It will have 3 difficulty levels: casual, regular, and hardcore.[2]
Combat fixes
- Mod Erator has finished his TAPP on Shattered Worlds improvements.[3] It has been on the QA backlog since March.[4] There will be new objectives and possibly hiscores of different types.[5]
- Mod Daze is working on making Telos more accessible for players who are colourblind.[6] Telos' "so much power" queue will correctly clear on phase transition.[7] Telos' anima bar will reset if using Immortality in phase 5.[8] When siphoning from fonts in a Telos fight, Telos will be untargeted so that golems take priority in the render order.[9]
- Mod Shauny is working on improving the Monster Examine spell to include detailed information about the player's chance to damage their target, and their chance of being damaged by their opponent.[10] Also, Mod Shauny is working on improving boss practice mode by allowing players to select different phases of a boss to start at.[11]
- Mod Ramen will fix an issue with Nex: Angel of Death becoming aggressive to different players.[12]
- Raids will receive improvements, such as reasons to do Raids more often; a better grouping system; reducing the amount of players required; improving the jellyfish (e.g. by giving buffs from killing it); and a gold version of the Daredevil title. The title would require the player to complete all Raids feats in one run without dying.[13]
- Gizmos will be visible on augmented items when examining another player.[14]
- Clan Wars' rule selection and wars in progress interfaces will be updated.[15]
- A new set of Ranged weapons, Boomerangs, are planned for the year of 2019. You will be able to add gems to them and enchant them to be given special effects. Similar to those of bakriminal bolts, the boomerangs can be made from wood or ore. They allow for infinite uses, as they return to the player, they will be much weaker than cross bolts, but stronger than javelins.
Abyssal Slayer creatures
Concept art of the Abyssal creatures by Mod NicePants.
Mod Shogun designed 3 new Abyssal Slayer monsters during the Game Jam 2017. They are currently awaiting graphical work and some minor tweaks. They will be Chthonian demons from the Abyss:
- Abyssal savage (requiring level 95 Slayer to kill)
- Abyssal beast (requiring level 105 Slayer to kill)
- Abyssal lord (requiring level 115 Slayer to kill)
All of these will be options that players will be able to choose in place of an abyssal demons task. The new monsters will each have the same teleporting mechanic as abyssal demons, with the abyssal lord also dealing damage to the player while doing so. As with regular abyssal demons, the effects of darklight and abyssalbane ammunition will work against the new monsters.
The abyssal savage will be a harder hitting version of an abyssal demon; though it will attack using magic. The abyssal savage will have a laser attack which the player must avoid by moving at least one step away from the savage. The abyssal lord will feature the most complex mechanics. Mod Shogun is aiming for them to have 2 special effects. One of these will be that, after the player has dealt a certain amount of damage to the abyssal lord, it can summon high-hitting minions which attack the player. Some of the minions' damage will be negated by Protect from Magic.[16]
Quests and Events
Reworks
Seers' Village
Concept map of the Seers Village graphical rework.
Mod AoB worked on graphically reworking Seers' Village and Camelot. Currently it is on the backlog as other projects are focused on.[17]
Planning to make Camelot castle larger and built into the mountainside. Some unnecessary things, such as the estate agent, will be removed from the village.[18] The Seers' Village Courthouse will be moved into Camelot castle and the coal truck mining site will be moved closer to Seers' Village furnace.[19]
Other
RuneScape Mobile
Mod Pi and several others are working on RuneScape Mobile - an upcoming version of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape announced on 17 July 2017. OSRS Mobile was originally planned for release in Winter 2017, but is currently planned to be released on 30 October 2018.[20] There is currently no planned release date for RuneScape Mobile yet.
Interface scaling
The interface will be made scalable as part of the upcoming Mobile client, and it will work also on the PC client.[21]
Group Ironman
Mod Ramen will work on Group Ironman Mode which will allow linked Ironman players to interact freely with each other and participate in group bosses and Dungeoneering, was announced at RuneFest 2017.[22] Features this may include are a group banking system, leaderboards, and a guild including Mr Ex and other ironman related content.[23] Group ironman is currently on hold since engine work is needed (group banking, other features) and the engine team is completely dedicated to RS Mobile.[24]
The first Developer Blog for the update was posted on 15 June and revealed the following plans for the mode:
- Players will be able to form groups of 2-5 ironman players. Groups will be classified according to size, with each size having a different chat badge and Ironman Armour icon, and potentially different hiscores.
- Leaving a group will result in a group ironman account being downgraded to a regular account.
- If a player leaves a group then the group will be able to recruit a freshly created group ironman account only.[25]
Microtransactions
Live Events Team are currently working on updating Treasure Hunter with the following changes:
- Re-balancing base reward table to provide more valuable items.
- Rework hearts of ice to make them more beneficial.
- Add life cycle system for new and existing Treasure Hunter items to be repeatedly available, and eventually freely available. The current plan is for Treasure Hunter exclusive items to become available through Solomon's General Store or time-limited events after 1 year; available through Thaler/a fragment system similar to elite skilling outfits another year later; and become freely available some time after that.[26][27]
Miscellaneous
The following fixes / tweaks are planned for future updates:
- Mod Shauny is working on an update to player examine. This would allow a player's inventory and Beast of Burden inventory to be viewed on the examine. This would update in real-time and would be affected by privacy settings.[28]
- Mod Edge has added a better interface for skyboxes and filters. The chosen skybox and filter will persist across log ins. He may also develop customisable skyboxes.[29][30] Mod Edge is also working on improving the beasts interface in legacy mode; the interface will be grey like other legacy interfaces.[31] The follower information interface will be grey in legacy interface mode.[32] Finally, Mod Edge will add an option to sort alphabetically will be added to the emote interface.[33]
- Mod Timbo's long-term projects include increasing the value of seeds and removing resources from PvM.[34][35] [36] Also, Mod Timbo will rework the rare drop table to make it more rewarding.[37]
- Mod Osborne and Mod Ramen are working on adding examine texts to The Lost Grove.[38]
- Mod Mohawk is working on teleporting and creating teleports in Dungeoneering to be taken off the global cooldown.[39]
- Mod Orion is working on item examines to have Grand Exchange prices and alchemy values added to them.[40]
- Mod Harrison will add an Agility shortcut to the eastern wall of the first island of The Islands That Once Were Turtles to allow easier access to clue scroll locations.[41]
- "Buy X" will be added for the Arc reward shops.[42]
- Summoning stores' interfaces will be graphically updated.[43]
- More functionality will be added to NXT, such as depth field and volumetric lighting, like the lighting used in Menaphos.[44]
- The bug report interface's messages about already known bugs will be improved to include more known live issues.[45]
- Luck items will be made to improve the chance of getting Player-owned farm egg and baby animal drops from monsters.[46]
