How the desk works

One digest a week, in our own words — and always checkable

OSRS News is an independent, player-to-player desk for Old School RuneScape. We publish one edition a week: the update that mattered, the fixes that followed it, and the market moves worth knowing — written plainly, never copied from anyone.

Every fact is reported in our own words and traced to its source. We link the official Jagex post and the OSRS Wiki page each time, so you can check us line by line. No invented quotes, no "sources say", no numbers we can't point to.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds gets a launch date — 15 September

Jagex's survival-crafting spin-off leaves Early Access on 15 September 2026, launching the same day on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, with crossplay across all platforms. The full release bundles the new Scorned Wilderness update and the Umbral Sands expansion.

Summer Sweep-Up: the Soulreaper Axe rethink

After player pushback, Jagex reversed its own Soulreaper Axe proposal. Rather than cutting the stack count, the axe keeps its 5-stack cap and 6% per-stack bonus but now takes 50 ticks (up from 20) before stacks start to decay — so you lose your ramp-up far less often between kills.

New Regional Worlds go live, plus Farming & Sailing QoL

A fresh batch of Regional Worlds launched alongside a round of Farming quality-of-life and Sailing tweaks. Jagex also flagged no game update the following Wednesday, with the team turning to Game Jam VIII passion projects instead.

The Fractured Archive shows its first rewards proposal

Old School's fourth raid put its opening reward proposal up for feedback: an unlimited-use Fractured Archive teleport, Elemental Fragments that raise each element's max hit by 2, and a tradeable hybrid armour set. Everything is early and open to change — Jagex flagged a slower feedback loop with staff away at the Deadman finale.

Wyrmscraig rewards go to poll ahead of a late-July launch

The player-designed island Wyrmscraig — a new Slayer Master, a boss, and Hunter and Crafting methods — opened its rewards for a poll. Among them: a Basalt Amulet that teleports you to the island for a small rune cost. The content is set to launch in late July.

Bank Tags land and the Wilderness gets safer

A jam-packed update: Bank Tags on mobile, the Trouver death rework, Frost Dragon Slayer — and the Deadman finale.

The Grand Exchange goes beyond max cash

Trades past 2.147b, the 64-bit rework behind it, and the full move to Jagex Accounts.

No edition for Monday 29 June: Jagex deliberately skipped the 24 June game update to focus on the 30 June launch of The Blood Moon Rises, so there was no significant update that week. We'd rather say so than pad the desk.
