Jagex cancels controversial RuneScape Reignited update, replaces it with Adventure Guide and first part of Remastered Journey

Jagex has cancelled RuneScape Reignited, a new character type that would have come with its own new economy, after backlash from existing players following its Runefest announcement. In a blog post the studio said it missed the mark and would not grow the game at the expense of its existing community, noting that a past combat change made without listening to feedback took over a decade to recover from. Instead, Jagex will release the Adventure Guide and the first part of the Remastered Journey alongside other improvements on December 2, and a 10 day free trial runs from December 2 to 12 for new characters or accounts without active membership since June 2.
