​

After a successful period in early access, RuneScape will be joining the ranks of mobile gaming early this summer with a full release on Android and iOS. The mobile port of the twenty-year old MMORPG will include cross platform play available at launch, allowing players to freely switch between a computer and a phone or tablet, and will be available as a free download on the Apple iOS and Google Play app stores. Interested players are able to pre-order the title now, and will contribute to unlocking a series of in-game rewards that will be determined based on the total amount of pre-orders. Some of these rewards include cosmetics such as hairstyles, and a temporary XP boost in game.

“Today’s invitation to pre-order and pre-register is a massive and exciting moment. It has been no small feat to bring one of the world’s largest MMORPGs to the world’s largest and most widespread gaming platform. This Summer, we will be ready to welcome players on mobile to a fantastical, living world and through endless discovery connect them to a RuneScape community of millions. Our community means everything to us, and we have taken the time in Early Access to listen to player feedback and create an experience that was as awesome on mobile as it is on desktop. Given RuneScape’s 20-year heritage, to have the whole of RuneScape running on mobile is a monumental achievement and we couldn’t be more excited for launch.”

RuneScape on mobile is expected to be released on June 17th, 2021

Got back into Runescape two years ago, First to the newest version of it since I didn't want to start over- Then I saw how much it mutated to a pay to progress mess of a game and went to OSRS. Never went back

lol yea its a very old game
i feel like there gonna change something for the worse when it goes up on mobile app stores
since thats usually what happens

Except...they're not?
They're literally just creating a client that runs on phones. It's the exact same game it always is. Nothing is changing. You log in with the same account to the same servers. It's just a portable client for playing like on PC.

ok well it is an online game so i should have expected its just a different place to log in
also why are you defending runescape i dont think anyone cares

Most people play Ironman mode anyway, which basically locks you out of any MTX available, makes the whole experience 1000x more rewarding, 10/10 would recommend.

PSA You can never "quit" Runescape, you always come back!
