Jagex has waved goodbye to Java and has today relaunched RuneScape using its proprietary engine and game client, NXT. It marks the end of the MMORPG being a browser game and players will now need to download a client. The visual overhaul is the result of two years of work at the Cambridge-based studio, and it means a variety of technical improvements such as DirectX 12 and Windows 10 support, with further enhancements set to come further down the line. You can check out some side-by-side images that compare the old engine to the new.
