Jagex has announced that RuneScape 3 is going to launch this summer. A major overhaul is coming to the ever-popular MMO, with a new fully HTML5 engine being introduced, along with improved graphics, new audio and design features, and "a world changing content update" intended to shift the game forward.

Exec producer Phil Mansell said: "RuneScape 3 is a massive update to RuneScape building on 12 years of content to make improvements on all fronts. RuneScape 3 is going to run faster, look better and feel so much more immersive."   

Creative director Mark Ogilvie then added: "RuneScape 3 marks a significant moment in RuneScape's history as the world enters the 6th Age. All our recent content updates have been building up to this point, massive change is coming, and our players will be able to shape the game with the choices they make. Every single player will have the ability to shape the world."
