RunsScape creator Andrew Gower has announced his latest game, the anticipated MMORPG Brighter Shores, is heading to early acces on Steam on the 6th of November 2024. It was over twenty years ago that RuneScap was released and established itself as one of the most popular online RPGs.

Finding themselves in the small town of Hopeport, Brighter Shores players will start their new life as a town guard – the first line of defense between the settlement and the fantasy world of Adothria on its doorstep. They will quickly discover, however, that Adothria has far more to offer beyond the town’s walls. A sprinkling of quirky characters, combined with a healthy dash of humour, makes for an enchanting world – though it’s certainly not without its dangers. As they explore through a variety of environments, adventurers will unravel mysteries, and discover shadowy enemies plotting to unleash great evil upon the world.

Speaking of the inpeding release, Andrew said. “Sorry, I am too busy trying to perfect the game to come up with quotes. We’re releasing Brighter Shores with plenty of features for players to sink their teeth into, but this is just the beginning. We’ve planned an extensive roadmap of updates to keep our game fresh and exciting for years to come.”
