RuneScape’s September Roadmap Includes Vulkan Beta, Deep Clean Update, and Havenhythe Part 2

Posted on by

Jagex has laid out RuneScape’s September plans, with the month mostly focused on wrapping up the remaining weeks of Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM before Havenhythe Part 2 arrives on September 28.

According to the official post, September also brings two notable updates before then: an engine update next week with a Vulkan beta, and a “Deep Clean” update later in the month aimed at cutting down clutter across the game.

  • The engine update is coming next week and will add a beta for Vulkan support, alongside other technical changes Jagex says weren’t previously possible.
  • The Deep Clean update is planned for week four of September. It targets visual clutter, inconsistent interface icons, excessive login messages, and intrusive info box popups.
  • That same update will refresh level 99 skillcapes and boss health bars for core bosses.
  • Players using a Jagex account will also be able to enter their bank PIN with a keyboard after the Deep Clean update.
  • Havenhythe Part 2 launches September 28, following the wind-down of Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM.

Jagex also noted that RuneScape: Dragonwilds will hit 1.0 on September 15, while RuneFest is still set for October 3 and 4. The studio said there won’t be a Month Ahead YouTube chat this time, partly because Jagex is in the middle of moving offices, but the team plans to keep the video format going in the future.
