Time for some Spring Jam!
The word "jam" comes from the idea of squishing fruit until it spreads
Game Jam is a special time where our J-Mods roll up their sleeves, chase their creative sparks, and bring bold, imaginative ideas to lifemany inspired by your feedback!
Whether it's exciting new content, long-awaited fixes, or playful experiments, Game Jam is where some of RuneScapes most inventive updates are born. In fact, popular additions like Duck Quest and the Shooting Star rework first came to life during these development sprints!
This year's Game Jam runs from April 22nd to May 2nd.
Just a heads-up: everything shared from Game Jam is a work-in-progress. While some projects may look polished, they all go through further internal review, testing, and scheduling. Not every idea will make it to live servers, and we cant promise specific release datesbut were excited to show you whats being dreamed up behind the scenes!
Icely Done
Some eagle-eyed Scapers may have spotted that the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon is looking a little cooler lately and youd be right! As part of this years Blooming Burrow update, the frosty cavern received a surprise visual uplift.
While we had hoped to keep it under wraps a little longer, we try to slip in environment updates like this during development when we canand were thrilled to see youve noticed! We hope you enjoy the refreshed look next time you take a chilly stroll through the dungeon.
Closing soon
The 2025 RuneScape Player Survey is closing soon dont miss your final chance to shape the future of Gielinor! Whether you're all about quests, skills, PvM or everything in between, your feedback helps guide what we build next.
