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.
Today’s video was created by Youtuber Gudi and provides quite the interesting experiment in Old School RuneScape. Gudi stacks low level accounts to create what he refers to as the tactical nuke capable of doing a lot of damage in an instant. The set up involves quite a lot of legwork and the use of multiple accounts, but the payoff is very entertaining to watch.
Gudi is an ex Jagex employee.

Old School RuneScape’s latest update drops today introducing The Nightmare of Ashihama, a new boss that can be taken down with groups of up to 80 players. The boss’s difficulty scales with each player added to the group, with only the best able to take it down solo. Jagex promises that every player in the group will get their hands on a reward for taking it down.
Executive producer of Old School RuneScape Rob Hendry commented on the update;
“As with all new content introductions in Old School, nothing gets released unless we have the backing of the community. Late last year we put the Nightmare to a player poll, and it passed with flying colours attracting more than 45,000 votes with 90% approving its addition. Empowering our community to have a say in the game’s content, through polls such as this, is hugely important to us as a development team and we can’t wait for players to team up and tackle the Nightmare today.”
Adventurers who take down The Nightmare have a chance at some unique gear. For more information, check out the official website below.
