Jagex has switched to a Monthly Cadence instead of a 12 month roadmap format. They won't tell exactly what content will be coming up in the next 12 months. Instead, they will tell us what will be coming up in the next month and give hints/previews on what else will come after that.

If you read Mod Warden's Wintumber letter, you should find we will see GWD3, RS3 Mobile launch and the initial stage of the World Guardian's graphics model change soon. He also reviewed there will be pretty of content revolving on GWD3, hence making it not just a dungeon like GWD1 and GWD2 but more like an expansion only to be released throughout 2021 instead of all in one go.

Of course, they will kick off a month long celebration event of the RS3 20th Birthday Anniversary event on January 4.

From other Jmod livestreams, we also know they are likely going to release the next batch of PvM Hub updates the next week. They also revealed Activitity Pets and they are working on repurposing Agility and Divination.

Next week we will know a lot more. :)

They also stopped doing the long term plan roadmap because of how often they'd over promise and then the intended release gets extremely delayed or shelved/cancelled.

To date, they've only been giving hints at stuff that are certain to come (ie: holiday events), stuff that are all but guaranteed to come out (coding is done or 95% and it is in the release queue), or that 1 piece of content they've started and they will certainly make sure it does get released (ie: a quest or a boss or some update, but it doesn't have any grand technical design that requires something like massive engine rework)

The only thing they'd be able to guarantee delivery on is Treasure Hunter promos.

Not really. Jagex wanted to do bigger projects and announced it before hand, like how they did with Archaeology. It was the community who wanted the Monthly Cadence format, but RS3 was happy to make the switch.

Has it been said its only going to be on rs3 as i thought its was a rs birthday not not rs3?


I don't see why OSRS can't follow RS3's footsteps and put up an RS3 style month long event to celebrate RS3's 20th Birthday. IIRC, OSRS didn't have its own birthday event last year either.

No it did: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/2020_Birthday_event


I meant the OSRS Birthday events have already been like the 5 minutes talk-to-few-NPCs-and-get-some-cosmetics kind just like every of their Holiday Events. They aren't likely going to have different varieties of celebration activities throughout a month the RS3 style. I am expecting the same thing in OSRS this year. Perhaps it is like talk to a few gnome children about why their skin color is no longer green like 20 years ago and get some kind of Green Skin cosmetics? :)
