For the 9000 and last time I want to tell you I am totally on topic and you should know where to report off topic post instead of spamming in this threa of this forum or I'll do it next time.

Now, regarding Runescape Remastered, it was just the name some players guessed but the official name so far is "unannounced MMO" from Jagex's various job posts.

Your saying something doesn't make it true, no matter if you say it over 90,000 times. (You are on topic now, you went a bit off before--and I really don't like to report people, even though I have to sometimes)
But lets drop that.
(also note that I will always ignore all threats of reporting)


Where did you hear about the 7th age?
(And why do you think it has to do with RS Remastered?)

Read my posts again please. I said all along Jagex announced an "unannounced MMO". They never gave it an official name. Runescape Remastered was the name some players/reddit users guessed because that game was announced in Chinajoy.

Here is a sample of the information from the leak:

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/aplpd8/runescape_remastered/

We also knew some key features mentioned in this leak are already revealed to be under development like the new Tick System and Jagex has been hiring characters artists who are experienced in converting 2D model to 3D, as well as Character Riggers who obviously are specialists in transformation animations, another feature listed in the "Runescape Mastered" leak. So this "leak" actually is holding some water.

Don't forget Jagex have announced new hires thorough this year and are hiring more too:

https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/bvg16o/unannounced_mmo_on_the_jagex_careers_page/

https://www.greenmangaming.com/newsroom/2019/04/10/jagex-makes-senior-hires-for-unannounced-game/

Even RS WIki has a page with some of the Unannounced MMO employees too:

https://runescape.wiki/w/Category:Unannounced_MMO_employees

The other thing is the leak source mentioned Runescape Remastered is set at the end of the 6th Age, it doesn't automatically imply there will be a 7th Age. Gielinor may or may not see its 7th Age as the new storyline can go somewhere else after the Apocalyse destroyed Gielinor.

Interesting: Unless I'm overlooking a critical detail--it looks like Runescape Remastered is most likely to be it's own game, rather than part of Runescape, unless the whole "Unannounced MMO" is a diversion, which is certainly possible.

Jagex is unlikely to end the 6th age in an apocalypse that destroys everything, as it would waste all of the years of development time that went into RS3, and destroy all the years of effort that went into RS3. Although that progress could theoretically be ported into RS remastered, (assuming RS remastered was a separate game) doing so seems illogical.

However, in this model, it would make sense for Riders of the Apocalypse to be the last quest in RS3 before we head into remastered, which means the release date is probably in the next 5 years. Realistically, I don't see anyway Jagex can sink more than 2 years into a project before needing that project to generate revenue...

Have you looked into the possibility of the "Unannounced MMO" being Stellar Dawn, finally becoming unshelved? (Or even Stellar Dawn being fused into RS?)

Unannounced MMO is definitely a new game, not RS3. However, everything is set in the Runescape Universe where RS3 is. So the lore and primary storylines and such should be the same.

Here is a video with Jagex confirmed asset called Project Aurora. It shows character transformation, different sizes of characters as well as the Weather System Jagex once revealed but has been shelved from RS3. It matches the leak earlier from Reddit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Zgpa_dzys

Again, the "Runescape Remastered" leak said the new game is set "at the end of the 6th Age", it is all up to anybody's own guess what is going to happen to the 6th Age of Gielinor in the current Runescape Universe.

From the footage video (confirmed to be official Jagex assets by Mod Meadows), we can see seemingly living and breathing plants in the environment. It may be some new place not on Gielinor or it may be the mutated forest of Anachronia as a result of the End of Thing/Apocalpyse/Grand Revision. That's what I think for now. Characters can transform and grow in size. This is a very cool feature as we can have different sizes of players. We also see the Adventurer/World Guardian found a growing purple artifact. It may have something to do with Zaros as it is his color. It also fit perfectly well into Jagex's plan elaborating on Zaros themed quest series with the new Digsite and Azzanadra quests.

One thing though, although Unannounced MMO is a new game, all the great new engine features will likely be usable in RS3 in the future.

While it does look related to the Runescape world and like not anywhere we know, there is another possibility: more area reworks. I do see a bit of the similarity to anachronia, and the foresty area in particular looks like the lost grove. Plant boss looks like a graphically reworked Hespori (or maybe the jade vine?). The other area with the Dragonkin looks like a reworked Kethsi.

I saw you got the "at the end of the 6th Age" from the reddit post, but I'm skeptical about where the reddit post got that info from--I don't know how reliable the video is either, but it does seem a much stronger source.

The Eddie Sharam guy seems to have taken the relevant videos down.

That all said, if the rumors are true, a riders of the apocalypse quest could be used to advertise for the new game, so I could see that coinciding with it's launch. Although based on the video alone the guy wasn't sure that the new MMO would be set in the RS universe.

Also not sure the guy with the artifact is the player: that could be a NPC in a cutscene.

The leaked sources, of course, can't be taken as Jagex's official words. We do see the leaked sources of "the end of the 6th Age" in "Runescape Remastered" have been very precise with the coming of Anachronia and then the Aurora leak.

Aurora is proven to be real assets in Jagex's games under development. We know Jagex has teamed up with other art/graphics sites like Artstation since the Aurora leak in early 2018. That's why they no longer reside in individual employees' publicly accessible accounts.

Jagex has revealed their plan on the Runescape Franchise. In fact, all their job adverts described the new jobs as new responsibilities in the Runescape Universe. They are not reinventing the Jagex wheel. That said, what we see in Aurora can be the new Anachronia, Lost Grove and Daemnonheim, however, as Mod Meadows clarified Aurora was assets from Jagex's new game and Jagex had no plan to add them to their current games at that time, such "new" Anachronia, Lost Grove and Damenonheim may very well be seen in Jagex's new games.

You should check Jagex's job adverts on graphics/animation new hires, they are working on a 3D graphics character models and they are hiring specialists with character rigging experience. They are working on new, genuine character modes. What we see from Aurora are not cutscenes.
