Jagex Announces RuneScape Reignited, a Fresh-Start Character Type for RuneScape 3
Reignited characters share an isolated economy and cannot trade or fight bosses with regular players, according to Jagex.
Jagex has announced RuneScape Reignited, a new character type for RuneScape 3 that starts with no progress carried over and an economy isolated from the main game, according to pcgamer.com. The announcement was made by the studio, with no release date given.
Reignited characters can play on existing worlds or on worlds exclusive to the new character type. They can socialize and form clans alongside regular RuneScape players, but the two groups cannot trade with each other or fight the same bosses.
Jagex said in a dev blog that no new updates will be exclusive to Reignited characters. Once a player picks a character type, the choice is permanent; there is no way to switch afterward.
Player reaction
Some existing players on Reddit and X have raised concerns that the new character type will split the playerbase.
In early 2025, Jagex announced it would move away from systems such as Treasure Hunter microtransactions.
