Mark your calendars, RuneScape players—December 2 is going to be an exciting day! Jagex has confirmed that it will kick off this year’s much-anticipated Christmas event, which will run all the way through to January 5, 2025. Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, there’s something for everyone during this festive celebration.
Every year, RuneScape rings in the holidays with large-scale events like those for Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. These themed events, a tradition since 2001, offer players exclusive rewards that add some bragging rights for years to come. And with the event lasting over a month, Jagex ensures that even if you’re busy during the actual holidays, you’ve got plenty of time to get involved.
This year’s Christmas event promises to be even bigger and better, with an extensive list of new content. The Christmas Village is back, and fans of last year’s event will be pleased to find even more festive fun. Diango, a beloved character, needs your help once again to set up his new cozy workshop and spread holiday cheer across Gielinor. Players will recruit a team of pixie helpers, craft cheerful uniforms, and keep the breakroom stocked with seasonal treats. It’s all about spreading festive joy, with new seasonal activities like Toy Crafting and Hot Chocolate Making.
Another exciting feature is the Winter Weeks, which will offer unique buffs each week, so there’s always something new to look forward to. If you want to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the festive fun, be sure to log in regularly. By checking the advent calendar every day for 24 days, you can claim a variety of rewards, including a chance to win the rare Black Partyhat. And if you open 15 spots on the calendar on their intended days, you’ll unlock even more special rewards.
While Jagex has yet to announce details for the Old School RuneScape Christmas event, players can expect it to follow similar festive traditions.
RuneScape has remained one of the longest-running MMORPGs, thanks to Jagex’s unwavering commitment to fresh content. Despite some controversies over the years, the RuneScape community remains massive and passionate. Looking forward, many of the game’s updates will focus on expanding skilling content beyond Level 99, which has been the cap for most skills since the game began. It’ll be interesting to see how these updates affect the endgame content and what lies ahead for the beloved game.
