The roadmap revealed for late 2024 — early 2025.

The Summer Summit 2024 was a livestream event that took place on 7 September 2024 where Jagex announced several potential upcoming updates.

The Curse of Arrav, Wrathmaw, Game Jam V updates, Varlamore Part III updates, and the Royal Titans were polled. Wrathmaw failed with only 49.1% support; all other content passed.

Varlamore: Part II — The Rising Darkness

First mentioned at the Winter Summit 2024, the second part of Varlamore focuses on the island of Aldarin and the mountain range north of Civitas illa Fortis. Content in this part includes:

  • The Hueycoatl — a group boss that drops the dragon hunter wand, the book of earth, Hueycoatl hide armour, and huasca seeds (huasca herbs are used to create prayer regeneration potions)
  • Mastering Mixology — a Herblore activity whose rewards include the reagents pouch, the pre-pot device, the alchemist's outfit and amulet, potion storage, and a new Herblore secondary, Aldarium, used to create goading potions and prayer regeneration potions
  • Colossal Wyrm Remains Agility Course — a low-intensity Agility course originally intended to release with Varlamore: Part I, but was pushed back; rewards include amylase crystals, a Varlamore-themed graceful recolour, and a pet squirrel transmog

Winter 2024

The Curse of Arrav

First released in RuneScape on 21 July 2009, The Curse of Arrav revolves around a plan to help free Arrav from the grasp of the Mahjarrat Zemouregal by retrieving Arrav's heart. Rewards from the quest includes access to Zemouregal's fortress containing stronger armoured zombies, which have an increased chance to drop the zombie axe as well as a chance to drop the zombie helmet, a crush-focused helmet that sits between the dwarven helmet and the Inquisitor's great helm.

November 2024

Wrathmaw - Wilderness World Boss

Wrathmaw is planned to be Old School's first world boss — a boss monster that spawns on a set timer roaming the main overworld and is available to all players instead of respawning constantly while being confined to an instance or small area. It is meant to replicate the feeling of breaches from Deadman: Apocalypse and Deadman: Armageddon — a regularly-scheduled hotspot that encourages PvP. The 60 players who deal the most damage to Wrathmaw will be awarded with Wrathmaw's teeth, which can be used to create stronger "amplified" versions of PvP weapons and gear, traded in for revenant ether, or turned in for items like the amulet of wrath, which is effective against Wrathmaw, and Wilderness teleports that can be used at any level.

Leagues V: Raging Echoes

Leagues returns as the Raging Echoes League, which maintains the area-locking mechanics of the Trailblazer and Trailblazer Reloaded Leagues (set to become a permanent mainstay of the game mode). Varlamore and its contents from Parts I and II will be available for selection. Combat Mastery will be introduced as a separate mechanic alongside Relics, giving boosts specifically to combat. Each area will have its own echo boss — stronger versions of bosses that have different mechanics and extremely powerful loot.

Spring 2025

Game Jam V Updates

Various Game Jam V projects are planned to be added to the game:

  • Collection Log improvements — new collection log summary page and interface, collection ranks, and official collection log hiscores
  • Mini-Menus — menus within menus that allow for easier access to teleports on items like the max cape and achievement diary cape
  • Bank Deposit improvements — visual overlay for deposit boxes and the ability to lock specific inventory slots from being deposited
  • More POH customisation — new house themes for Varlamore, Prifddinas, Canifis, and the Wilderness

Branda and Eldric, the Royal Titans

A duo fire giant/ice giant boss is set to be made to round out the "giant" bosses — Obor the hill giant and Bryophyta the moss giant. Unlike Obor and Bryophyta, Branda and Eldric are members-only bosses.

Varlamore: Part III — The Final Dawn

The third and final part of Varlamore focuses on the Auburn Valley, the Custodia Pass, and the Tlati Rainforest. Content in this part includes:

  • The Doom of the Mokhaiotl — the first boss in Old School to use RuneScape's enrage mechanic, where damage and rewards scale higher the more enrage the boss has
  • A low-intensity crab boss
  • A new Slayer dungeon in the Custodia Pass with one new Slayer monster that has three variants
  • A new Fletching activity
