Runescape Avatars Are Getting A Makeover

runescape avatar visual upgrade bannerAt 20 years old, Runescape can still hold its own against more contemporary MMORPGs but I’m sure we can all agree that the game’s avatars could definitely benefit from a makeover. The good news is that the developers over at Jagex are now working on a number of visual improvements centered around player characters. The team shared their plans in a recent developer livestream.

According to the devs, they will be improving character mesh details and will be adding a long list of additional customization options. These include 16 new male outfits, 16 new female outfits, 18 facial hair options, and 62 additional hairstyles to choose from.

The developers also shared how they plan to implement the upgrades. You can check that out in the full livestream video below or on the Runescape Subreddit if you want the short version.
