RuneScape Esports Initiative Gets Indefinite Delay


RuneScape is getting an esports/competitive update. Eventually. Maybe. Someday. Let’s just play it by ear.

Jagex’s head of esports took to Twitter today to confirm that news of esports and competitive initiatives in the company have been delayed again to an unspecified point in the future. News has been slow especially since the seasonal Deadman Mode has been dead since the Summer 2019 tournament, and Jagex has been promising news for several months now on the future of the game’s competitive…future.

“Due to some extra work needed on our side, we’ll be delaying the esports and competitive gaming update until further notice. We thank you for your continued patience and look to share information with you as soon as possible.”

Daily Esports ran a piece last year which can give more insight into RuneScape’s problems with esports and competitive play. Primarily the company’s attempts at introducing esports elements have been met with problems from domination by clans, game-breaking issues that were further complicated by mismanagement, allegations of misconduct by Jagex staff, and all kinds of problems that won’t be fixed overnight.

Where will RuneScape esports end up? Your guess is as good as ours.

Check Out Overwatch’s Golden Guns

In his previous talk, Jeff Kaplan announced that competitive mode would bring golden gun skins as a reward for players, with the most skilled among the player base getting their hands on the (presumably) beautiful weapons much sooner than the rest. According to screenshots revealed on the Korean public test server, those guns may be coming sooner than thought.

These guns have not been confirmed by Blizzard, so they may just be high quality fakes. The odds of that seem unlikely.
