Jagex recently hosted the Old School RuneScape Summer 2026 Campfire stream, showcasing all the new activities and events coming to the quirky MMO throughout the year, including a new island, and a new endgame raid.
The new island is Wyrmscraig, and it’s based on the winner of the Sailing Player-Designed Island event from earlier this year. The island is filled with rugged mountains and dangerous wildlife, as well as a new quest, and a new boss, the Mad Angel.
This year will see the end of the sixth Grandmaster quest, and the end of the Myreque quest line with The Blood Moon Rises, which begins June 30. The powerful vampire lord Lowerniel Drakan has returned. Players must venture into Vampyrium and battle the new boss, the Maggot King.
OSRS players will also get their first new endgame raid in four years with the arrival of The Fractured Archive. Arriving later this year, the raid is billed as the game’s toughest yet as players battle eight different bosses in a streamlined boss rush system, including Bork and the Guthixian Archive Guardian.
PvP is also getting some love via a new PvP tutorial. the tutorial will help players learn about PvP in OSRS with a more risk-free setting. Plus, the US is getting its first major OSRS PvP event with Deadman Allstars Season 3, bringing together 30 players from six teams for a large-scale war on custom servers. The finale is scheduled for June 20 in Chicago’s Rosemount Theatre (and streamed live via Twitch).
RuneScape is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It’s the famously low-poly, free-to-play MMO that’s still being updated. Old School Runescape is a bit like World of Warcraft Classic, taking players back to a separate, older version of the game circa the mid-2000s.
Jagex recently released RuneScape: Dragonwilds, an open world survival craft spin-off via Steam Early Access.
