A recently filed trademark for 'ELDERGATE' from Runescape creator Jagex sparks speculation about a new game from the British developer.

In the twenty-plus years since Runescape first debuted as an MMORPG optimized to be played on web browsers, Jagex's flagship game has become one of the most well-known and highly-regarded MMOs in the world of gaming. The game's success has led to plenty of spinoffs and alternatives for players to experience the world of Gielinor, ranging from Old-School Runescape preserving the game's much-loved 2006 version to Steamforged Games recently announcing both a Runescape board game and tabletop RPG core books. Now, a recent trademark suggests Jagex may be eyeing its next big adventure in the near future.

While Runescape has been Jagex's most widely recognized game without question, the massively popular Java-based MMORPG is by no means the developer's only game. From 2015's sandbox shooter Block N Load to multiple other casual browser-based games both on their own platforms and other sites like Facebook, Jagex's creations boast a small but diverse library. Now, Jagex has recently filed a trademark for 'ELDERGATE' with many fans speculating the title may hint at the developer's next game.

The announcement of a new game being developed by Jagex would come fresh off the heels of a big year for the developer's flagship game celebrating its 20th anniversary. Last summer saw the long-awaited release of the mobile version of RuneScape's modern version as well as several fan-favorite features added to Old School Runescape. Jagex even teamed up with community modder 117 to create a HD mod for Old School Runescape following fan outcry against Jagex's original stance on the mod. What kind of game ELDERGATE may end up being remains to be seen in an official reveal.

The trademark filed by Jagex looks to claim rights to the name 'ELDERGATE' with specific classifications for the trademark listing it as being related to "video game software" among several other categories, leading many fans to speculate that ELDERGATE may be a new game in development by Jagex that has yet to be formally revealed. ELDERGATE being developed in-house by Jagex would mark the first time since the failed Chronicle: Runescape Legend in 2015 that Jagex itself has produced a new game, though the British gaming company has published several smaller indie games.

Runescape's big year in 2021 came as the Javascript-based RPG continues to face growing competition with several high-profile MMORPGs debuting in the past few years. February saw the long-awaited global release of Lost Ark, a popular MMORPG which was formerly exclusive to South Korea since its launch in 2018, and Amazon launched its foray into the MMORPG genre in September with New World. Jagex and Runescape are all too familiar with the ebb and flow of MMORPGs and have stood the test of time for over two decades, and the developer could look to see similar success with ELDERGATE.
