'It's Clear That We Missed the Mark' — Jagex Cancels RuneScape Reignited Less Than Two Weeks After Announcing It

Jagex said the mode would have split the community and canceled it after listening to player concerns, while keeping its 2027 roadmap and new plugins on track.

  • Creative Director Mod Ryan announced on October 15 that Jagex has canceled RuneScape Reignited, the new game mode revealed at RuneFest less than two weeks earlier on October 3.
  • Players argued the mode would fracture the community, urging Jagex to prioritize updates for the existing game instead. The developer responded by citing player feedback and avoiding past mistakes regarding combat changes that took over a decade to recover from.
  • "I'm glad to see Reignited is canceled, that does go a long way to rebuilding trust," one player wrote, reflecting community preference to keep the playerbase unified rather than split into a parallel copy.
  • With the project canceled, Jagex continues its 2027 roadmap, with Plugins scheduled to launch on Monday, October 19. The team is also preparing a 10-day free trial starting December 2 to attract new players.
  • Jagex is releasing the Adventure Guide and the first part of the Remastered Journey in December. Additionally, the developer is building RuneScape 4, a next-gen MMO using the Unreal Engine, though no release window has been announced.
