It currently goes by the working title RS4, though most people are already calling it RuneScape 4. The game is being built in Unreal Engine, and Jagex hasn't said which version. It's the first numbered follow-up since RuneScape 3 arrived in 2013. A CGI teaser shown at the event has a town in a green valley, floating islands, and a dragon rider being attacked by a three-headed dragon. Jagex says RS4 is in early development with its own dedicated team, and that it is still "a few years away." The studio also isn't ready to talk about platforms.Interestingly, RS4 didn't start out as a full game. It began as an expansion for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Jagex's Unreal Engine 5 survival game, and apparently grew into its own project after playtesters asked for a more traditional MMO take on that setting. The expansion was reportedly planned for 2027. The story is said to pick up years after Dragonwilds and starts in the same region, Ashenfall. RuneScape 3, Old School RuneScape, and Dragonwilds will all keep running alongside it. Of course, we don't know yet how monetization will work or whether any progress carries over from RuneScape 3, and I think it'll be a while before we see real gameplay.

ymdhis>Unreal Engine 5Dragonwilds runs just fine on UE5, it looks modern without trying to do anything stupid.
aaaaand dropped.
Not every UE5 game is an unoptimised mess. #3
Chrispy_Dragonwilds runs just fine on UE5, it looks modern without trying to do anything stupid.Another super-obvious example is Expedition 33 (yes yes, it does not use all features). #4 Time to prepare rusty bronze hatchet and get to work by chopping down trees.
Not every UE5 game is an unoptimised mess.
Still unknown, it like new RS with graphics or game similar to dragonwilds. #5 I can't play dragonwilds solely because they only support Windows. I play RS3 on android, iOS and MacOS.
But i guess they measured their audience. They are so confident in moving Windows-only path. Too bad.
