Last weekend, Press X was invited by Jagex to RuneFest 2026. We sent our resident RuneScape expert, Producer Owen, and RuneScape noob, Producer Matt, to take in everything on offer.

We spoke to Jon Bellamy, CEO at Jagex, about the massive announcement of the new MMO, RuneScape 4, as well as a brand-new animated series made in collaboration with Charlie White (aka MoistCr1tikal) and Lyrical Animation. We also sat down with developers from all three games—RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, and RuneScape: Dragonwilds—to discuss their love for the franchise and what players can look forward to next.

Aso joining us is honorary Exy Beast JonnyVR who reflects on the gang's performance on the Patreon livestream and shares an unsung hero game that's got the whole pod curiously googling!

Amy Mallett's back to talk the living daylights out of a game for which the world is not enough. This episode is for your eyes only, so let's hope we die another day and have no immediate need for a doctor. No spectres here - you may have license to kill, but on her majesty's secret service, you only live twice - so keep those golden eyes peeled and that gold finger on the trigger because this is one casino royale you DON'T want to moonraker.

You read that right! Radio 1 film critic Ali Plumb returns for the first time to the independent Press X (long-time listeners will recall some trivia from his last appearance on the BBC version coming in handy on this episode...) to delight Steffan, Inel and you the fans with the same quiz he recently levelled against many of the Press X-ers who attended the Gaming BAFTAs. Pick up a pen and paper and pit yourself against the Plumb. Can you beat Steffan and Inel's score?

PS: OUR PATREON IS NOW LIVE! Hope to see you over there...

And Steff’s still ill. Typical.

Frankie’s back in the saddle with medium bear Barney and papa bear Inel for another episode where we’re chewing the cud about mobile games, remake fatigue and the game that walked so GTA and Red Dead Redemption could run.

Thank you so much to all of our community for being with us since the beginning! See you at 200!

It's Press X like you've never heard it before - because the Queen of the eXy Beasts, Frankie Ward, is hosting in place of a sickly Steffan!

Frankie is joined by Inel and new clubber Barney Banks for an episode as crazy as the taxi you rode in on, fending off fairweather camera connections, debating Roblox regulation and measuring the monopoly of the one and only Rik Mayall (most known for voicing Hogs of War on the PS1 and little else of note...)

300,000,000 accounts across a franchise that's 25 years old. A company that's doubled down on giving the fans what they want. A dev team that's completely beholden to community democracy.

This January, Steffan was invited to Jagex's headquarters in Cambridge for their 25 Years of Runescape creator event (alongside the biggest names in its thriving YouTube community) to speak with Senior VP of Product James Dobrowski about what it means to make an MMO that stands the test of time.
