Found this 5 headed hydra and totally unrecognizable OSRS "key art". I don't think this is remotely what we see in OSRS now.

Anybody knows OSRS is going to change their graphics direction. Are hydras growing more heads... Or do you think it is just a marketing gimmick trying to get modern players to think differently about the actual OSRS and OSRS will remain old school in reality?

It has been a long time since the OSRS community debated old school graphics, modernized OSRS graphics, 117scape, HDOS and more. News?

I really don't know yet, but it will be interesting if they rekindle the art direction fire. I want to see changes too, of course how much it changes is subject to the voices of the community.

It may also be just desperate marketing gimmick to try to attract more players as the marketing team thinks old school graphics/content doesn't work. We'll see...

They are changing the 2011 Torva too. Seems like OSRS is getting tired of backporting old school graphics. How far will they be changing the art direction? Will it be any impact on other 3PC like 117scape HD in Runelite and HDOS?

its literally just art work. they have done it since the beginning of runescape.

Not this kind of modern art which noticeably doesn't remotely resemble what we have in the game now.

exactly its just art work.

concept art like this has always been a thing.









you seem to be looking for something that isnt there.
