Old School RuneScape Summer 2026 Campfire Highlights: 

• Grand Master Quest Finale: The Blood Moon Rises: The sixth Grandmaster quest and final chapter of the decade-long-running Myreque quest series, The Blood Moon Rises, casts its crimson glow across Gielinor starting June 30. After a thousand years, Lord Lowerniel Drakan, former leader of the ancient and power-hungry Drakan Vampyre clan and the last Blood Moon, has returned and is willing to do anything to regain his former title and return the Vampyres to the old ways, no matter how much blood is spilled in his wake. Enter the Vampyrium and journey through its deadly environment. Venture forth through new skill-building areas packed with activities. Test your might against the Maggot King – a new repeatable solo boss. 

• New Island: Wyrmscraig: Winner of the Sailing Player-Designed Island held earlier this year, hoist the anchor and set sail for the new island found deep in the south-west sea of Gielinor this summer. Its rugged mountainous terrain and highly aggressive wildlife make for the perfect place for adventurers to explore. Wyrmscraig introduces a new quest, new skilling activities: Goat hunting and Golem crafting, as well as a new Slayer Master, and new repeatable boss: The Mad Angel.  

• New Quest: The Graveyard: Coming this Autumn, a new chapter in the 22-year-old Fremennik quest series takes adventurers through the icy depths of the Weissmere sea, right in the heart of one of its deadliest areas. The Graveyard also introduces a new agility update that offers players a choice of intensity.

• New End-Game Raid: The Fractured Archive: Housing the vast knowledge of Guthix, The Fractured Archive has lain, unfinished and undisturbed for thousands of years at the bottom of an ancient chasm. Coming later this year, this brand-new endgame raid – the first in over four years and the toughest raid yet – introduces a streamlined boss rush system along with new Best-in-Slot rewards. Players will face off against eight different bosses, including the behemoth Bork and the Guthixian Archive Guardian. Keep an eye on the Old School RuneScape community blog for more details in the coming months.  

• Bingo Community Feature: This feature is an official take on the bingo system that is already popular within the community. It enables players to come up with their own challenges in a grid-style interface and compete in teams through entirely player-led events. 

• Client Mobile Updates: Several updates for the Official Client and mobile experience were also shared by the team at Jagex, including upcoming Mobile Bank Tags, Android Picture-in-Picture support, and a full rework of the Menu Entry Swapper system to fix longstanding issues and improve functionality. As well, the team provided a major progress update on the New Renderer project, explaining ongoing work to improve stability, performance, visuals, and mobile optimization ahead of a second open beta.  

• PvP Tutorial: As the Old School RuneScape team knows that PvP can be daunting for someone new to the mechanic, they have introduced a new greenlight project to help players brush up their skills and gain some insider knowledge. Players can engage in a new tutorial where they can learn the finer details of PvP in this risk-free setting, before venturing forth and making a name for themselves.  

• New Game Worlds: Following the successful launch of new game worlds in Brazil, Jagex will also be deploying new game worlds in Singapore, Japan and South Africa, giving players in those regions better connectivity and ping. 

• Finally, the Summer Sweep Up sees a number of quality of life updates implemented into the game, including Hunter training progression, new agility courses, gear rebalancing buffs and new early game items.
