A universe grown by its community

RuneScape didn't just survive 25 years — it was reshaped, poll by poll, patch by patch, by the millions of players who call Gielinor home. From the pixel-first days of 2007 to the co-op dragon-slaying of Ashenfall, every world here carries the same DNA: your choices matter, your grind pays off, and there's always one more adventure over the horizon.

Built and cared for by the team at Jagex in Cambridge, RuneScape remains one of the most player-driven franchises in gaming history.
