The developers of RuneScape have unveiled a comprehensive roadmap for the upcoming updates in 2024 and the first half of 2025 in a new video called "RuneScape Ahead". This announcement gives players a detailed overview of upcoming content, ranging from new quests and boss fights to major expansions.

One highlight of the roadmap is the long-awaited Group Ironman mode, which will allow up to five players to embark on an adventure in RuneScape together. This mode will be available later this year and will challenge players to survive without XP bonuses or external support. With new features such as shared storage and upgradable milestone capes, the mode offers both strategic and social incentives.

Another exciting update is the new Skilling boss "The Gate of Elidinis", which will be introduced in fall 2024. Players can fight this boss either solo or in a group while exploring the sanctuary of the absent goddess Elidinis. This update will be accompanied by a new quest that dives deep into the history of RuneScape and offers players a range of rewards for their skills.

Over the coming years, players can also expect new story quests that will take them through familiar and new regions of Gielinor. In particular, Winter 2024 will see the release of a new quest that follows on from previous storylines and takes players back to the desert to complete open storylines. This quest ends in an epic boss fight against Amascut, the Devourer.

In addition, there will be numerous seasonal events, including the "Harvest Hollow" event at Halloween and the "Christmas Village" at the end of the year. These events offer special quests, activities and exclusive rewards that perfectly match the season.

Another significant update is the expansion of the 110-skilling system. In 2024, there will be new content for the Woodcutting and Archery skills, followed by updates for Runecrafting and Craftsmanship in 2025. These expansions will offer players new weapons and skill trees to further improve their skills.

The roadmap concludes with a preview of a new area expansion planned for late 2025. Although details are still being kept under wraps, this expansion promises to add another exciting chapter to the game.

For players who want to dive deeper into the upcoming content, Jagex is also hosting a livestream to provide more details and an exclusive look at the new area expansion.
