RuneScape Reignited has been cancelled. Jagex’s October 15 announcement closes the proposed separate experience. For friends planning a December return, the useful question is now who qualifies for the membership trial and what you want to play together.
What remains on the calendar?
In Mod Ryan’s official update and transcript, Jagex says the Adventure Guide and the first part of the Remastered Journey are still planned for December 2. Plugins are scheduled for October 19.
The October 9 character-switching and membership proposals belonged to the Reignited reassessment. They are no longer a set of pending choices for a Reignited launch.
Check trial eligibility character by character
Jagex lists a free RuneScape membership-access period of December 2–12, 2026, with exact times still to be confirmed. It covers new characters and existing characters with no active membership since June 2, 2026. Old School RuneScape is excluded. No purchase or subscription is required for the eligible trial; membership is required outside that period.
Make a simple group list: character name, membership history and the activity each person wants to try. Check each character against the official terms before treating the trial as everyone’s shared starting date. Pick a short first-session goal so a returning friend can join without committing to a whole campaign.
Keep the account deadline separate
There is also a distinct November 17 Jagex Account migration deadline for legacy logins. Review that announcement separately when preparing your return; it is an account-access change, not a Reignited launch requirement.
