RuneScape’<\/em>s been around forever. Since first releasing in 2001, Jagex’s browser-based MMORPG has quietly built a huge player base. To many, months (or years) spent adventuring across RuneScape<\/em> are a defining experience; an introduction to the breadth and scope of online gaming that players could grow up alongside. <\/p> And now, a new generation of players will have a chance to experience RuneScape<\/em> in an entirely different way. By next year, RuneScape<\/em> will launch on mobile devices on tablets, effectively ushering the unabashedly old-school MMO into the modern era.<\/p> According to Jagex, the mobile version of RuneScape<\/em> will be the same game “you know and love,” optimized for phones and tablets. Players can switch between the desktop version and RuneScape Mobile<\/em> seamlessly, allowing dedicated players to keep all their hard-earned progress.<\/p> The portable version of RuneScape<\/em>‘s “Old School” mode — a continually updated version of the game’s first form — will be available before the end of the year. RuneScape Mobile<\/em> will launch in 2018.<\/p> Anyone interested in the upcoming versions of RuneScape Mobile<\/em> can register for a chance to join a Closed Beta here<\/a>.<\/p>
