Runefest 2025: RuneScape unveils sailing and major updates

Author : Alexander May 14,2025

The world of gaming never ceases to amaze, and RuneScape fans have a lot to celebrate with the first RuneFest since 2019! This event showcases the vibrant community and dedication of both fans and developers of this iconic MMORPG. But what's truly exciting are the new features set to enhance your RuneScape experience.

Starting with Old School RuneScape, players are in for a treat with the introduction of three major new features. The highlight is the addition of Sailing, the first new skill in years, which lets you navigate the seas with a variety of nautical vessels. This skill opens up new adventures and challenges on the water. For the more seasoned players, brace yourselves for the introduction of Yama, a formidable new endgame boss that promises thrilling battles. And to enhance the visual experience, Old School RuneScape is getting an HD upgrade, maintaining its beloved low-poly aesthetic while giving it a fresh look.

But that's not all RuneFest 2025 has to offer. Old School RuneScape's Project Zanaris is launching a modding platform, and playtest sign-ups are now open, inviting players to contribute to the game's evolution. On the mainline RuneScape front, the introduction of RuneScape Leagues promises to shake up the gameplay with new competitive elements.

And for those eager to explore new territories, the upcoming region of Havenhythe in RuneScape brings a host of new content. Players can dive into battles against deadly Vampyres, explore new locations, engage in skilling activities, and embark on quests that will keep you engaged well into 2026.
