Dwelling in the Ancient Prison beneath the God Wars Dungeon, Nex can only be accessed once players have completed the Desert Treasure quest and a miniquest to unlock the Frozen Door. This iced-up access point has existed since the Dungeon was launched but has remained sealed, until now! Once inside the Prison, players must crush through a formidable army before reaching Nex herself.

The long-awaited PVM expansion can be battled in groups of up to 80, with the best players challenging themselves to take on Nex in smaller teams. Defeating Nex gives players the chance to obtain some highly valuable rewards, including Ancient Godsword, Zaryte crossbow, the iconic Torva armour set, and more. Every player who takes part in the fight has a chance of obtaining a unique item, with higher performing players bagging more loot.

All new content introduced to Old School RuneScape must have the backing of 75% of the community. Nex: The Fifth General was put to a player poll, and it passed attracting more than 57,000 votes with 90% approving the boss.

This is members-only content, become a member now at www.oldschool.runescape.com to start preparing for a climactic showdown in the new year. In addition, Nex will also be featured in the highly anticipated Leagues III, launching on January 19^th.

Group Ironman sees players team up to become Old School legends. Teams of two to five players compete together in a fierce contest of wills and skills where they must devise strategies to set new records and rise to the top of the leaderboards. What’s more, unlike typical Ironman, there are no restrictions between team members, allowing them to trade their resources, enjoy shared storage of equipment and even visit each other’s Player-Owned Houses. This unique way to experience Old School is the ultimate social way to play.

Every piece of content that goes into Old School RuneScape is voted on by the players in polls and requires a 75% majority vote to pass. The Group Ironman poll saw more than 140,000 players cast their vote – making it the most player-voted poll in the game’s eight-year history – and achieved a very successful 80% approval rating.

Group Ironman is available to Old School RuneScape members and non-members. Players can create a new account for the game mode and use ‘The Node’ to form new groups or they can form them on their own in real life. So, grab your friends and get ready to prove that you’re the superior fighter.

In A Kingdom Divided, players go behind the Kingdom of Great Kourend’s façade of peace and prosperity to unravel allegations of corruption at the heart of the ruling Kourend Council.  However, the Council’s political games are not the only thing players have to contend with. There’s also a deeper conspiracy, hundreds of years in the making, and a darker power is now gathering in the kingdom – one that could change the face of Gielinor forever.  

Rob Hendry, Executive Producer, Old School RuneScape, said: 

“With some of the richest lore in Old School RuneScape, players loved Great Kourend when the kingdom hosted our first competitive Leagues event, and now it’s the perfect place for a quest that explores conspiracy and corruption within its ruling council. While A Kingdom Divided is an experienced-level quest, Old School already has more than 700,000 players who have completed the questline’s previous seven instalments and are ready to take on the investigation. 

“And, as with all new content introduced to Old School, the addition of A Kingdom Divided arrives with player approval. We polled the quest with players, and it passed with a high approval rating, attracting more than 30,000 votes and with 92.7% voting for its inclusion. Now, we’re keen to see how players tackle the machinations of the Kourend Council to ensure that Great Kourend is a kingdom divided no more.” 

Completing A Kingdom Divided rewards players with the much-anticipated unlocking of 26 new spells for the Arceuus Spellbook, in addition to two quest points, a 10,000-experience lamp, an increase to 60 charges in Kharedst’s Memoirs, and enables a respawn point at Kourend Castle. 

As the content arrives in Old School RuneScape, the living game’s login screen has also been given an A Kingdom Divided-themed refresh and now features the winning player-designed art from a recent Old School community contest, where the winner’s design attracted more than 30,000 votes.  

A Kingdom Divided is now available in Old School RuneScape for PC, Mac, Steam, iOS and Android, with cross-platform play across all platforms.

Clans enables players to group up and enjoy Old School RuneScape together, whilst also competing with other rival clans in exciting end-game content. Also coming within today’s update is the Clan Hub. Situated in a corner of the Grand Exchange, the Clan hub is a dedicated location for all Clan-related activities such as forming, finding, and managing newly formed clans of up to 500 players.

To support both newly forming clans and long-time communities registering their clan in-game, dedicated Clan menus, a recruitment board, and a variety of other valuable tools are included to make organising a Clan as simple as possible. Once you’ve got a clan full of adventurers, you’ll be able to assign them dedicated ranks to form a hierarchy of players. Clans can choose to either use military style ranks or rename them using other RuneScape-related themes such as ore and gem tiers. Once a clan is formed, they’ll need a place to kick back – enter the Clan Halls. Halls are a private area for clans, which can also be opened to guests.

Rob Hendry, Executive Producer, Old School RuneScape, said:

“Clans are instrumental in bringing players together to create compelling and wholesome stories to tell. Today’s Clans update provides the perfect opportunity for every Old School RuneScape player to develop existing relationships, build new ones, and share exciting experiences with like-minded individuals in our amazing community. Whether it’s learning the ropes during your first venture into the world of Gielinor, cornering the market in the Grand Exchange, or taking on challenging endgame PVE and PVP content, Clans allow you to do so with others who have similar goals.”

The game’s arrival on Steam comes in the week that it marked its eighth year as a living game since launch on 22nd February 2013. The game’s anniversary is being celebrated with an in-game birthday event, which rewards players with a new cosmetic banana cape. With a vibrant community behind it, existing Old School’s players are now gathering in Lumbridge to welcome new players arriving via Steam with a massive meet-and-greet and a community playthrough of the eighth birthday event.

The first ever This Is Old School RuneScape Blog published today on its Steam Hub, delivering a useful walkthrough guide for those yet to join the world of Gielinor, or for returning players that haven’t paid a visit in a while.

Rob Hendry, Executive Producer, Old School RuneScape said:

“Old School has something for everyone, and this past year we’ve seen it hit new heights: it’s seen the largest number of concurrent players, most members ever, and millions of active players across both the members edition and those who enjoy the game for free on both desktop and mobile. Old School is ever-growing and thanks to a vibrant and empowered community behind it, adventure is now calling for Steam users and I know that our existing players are ready to welcome the new arrivals.”

Old School RuneScape arrives on the PC platform complete with a full suite of Steam achievements, badges, emoticons, and trading cards featuring the game’s most beloved characters and items. In addition, the game offers launch-exclusive content for those who become members via Steam.

The launch on Steam comes as part of Jagex’s mission to continue to make the RuneScape universe accessible to more players around the world. Old School RuneScape will continue to offer both its free-to-play and members versions on Steam, the latter of which delivers an expanded world complete with more characters, skills, storylines, and quests for players to immerse themselves in.

The news follows RuneScape’s successful debut on Steam, which welcomed more players than ever to the world of Gielinor. It has received over 90% positive reviews and 1.85 million unique views on Steam launch live stream.

This PvP game mode sees up to 120 players competing to win by gaining as many Avatar kills as possible. Players race to earn victory points, which are exchanged for major in-game rewards. Soul Wars is also an effective place for players to level up their Combat skills.

Soul Wars wouldn’t be complete without fan favourite warrior mage Nomad and this iconic RuneScape character is heading to Soul Wars to host the minigame once again – just like he did for the original version 12 years ago.

Soul Wars is considered a classic piece of legacy content from RuneScape that has often been requested by the community to be included in Old School RuneScape. In fact, when put to an official Old School RuneScape community poll it attracted more than 50,000 player votes, with a massive 83% of voters requested its inclusion in the game.

The addition of Soul Wars opens-up the potential for additional RuneScape legacy content to be introduced to Old School RuneScape in the future. For players looking to see their favourite content from that era of RuneScape return, keep an eye on future Old School RuneScape polls.

Soul Wars also arrives in Old School RuneScape as developer and publisher Jagex celebrates 20 years of RuneScape, which first went live in 2001, with year-long programme of anniversary content, quests, and stories to mark both Old School RuneScape and RuneScape’s enduring success.

Soul Wars is sure to appeal to PvPers, lovers of minigames and nostalgic RuneScape players alike. So, grab your friends and get ready to prove that you’re the superior fighter.

Sins of the Father takes players on the bloodstained path of a long-running storyline that sees freedom fighters, the Myreque, attempt to free the dark swamplands of Morytania from the evil grasp of feared vampyre leader Lord Drakan.

Completing Sins of the Father opens the previously inaccessible city of Darkmeyer. Within its walls, players will discover a multitude of new shops, amenities, enemies and skilling methods, including the Hallowed Sepulchre agility course and the Essence Mine.

• The Essence Mine offers players a new way to train the Runecrafting skill by utilising the mysterious power of the mineral deposits in Darkmeyer.
• The Hallowed Sepulchre is a new minigame where players can train their Agility skill by traversing the boobytrapped crypt which houses the long-dead citizens of the ancient city of Hallowvale.

Mike Donatelli, Product Director of Old School RuneScape, said:

“The Myreque is a dramatic storyline and one which is close to many players’ hearts. It is one of the oldest and longest quest series in game, and players have enjoyed unravelling the history of the vampyres and the elusive Lord Drakan. As always, we have collaborated closely with the Old School RuneScape community throughout the development of Darkmeyer, with an emphatic vote of ~90% of 55,000+ polled players backing the quest.”

The past 12 months have been hugely successful for Old School RuneScape on mobile, with more than 8million installs and winning a prestigious BAFTA award, which really was the icing on the cake.

“We have big plans for the next 12 months, including the Morytania Expansion, opening the vampyre city of Darkmeyer for the first time, and the introduction of a new game mode, ‘Leagues’, which begins this November with ‘Twisted League’. As we celebrate the game’s first cake-filled birthday, Old School RuneScape on mobile has definitely proven itself to be a recipe for success.”

This year, the game won both the BAFTA Audience Award for the ‘EE Mobile Game of the Year’ and the Develop Star award for ‘Best Mobile Game’.
