RuneScape Debuts CATALYST, Limited-Time Mode

RuneScape breaks the mold with CATALYST – its groundbreaking first-ever League mode, now live through November 10th. Experience unprecedented XP boosts along with an innovative task system and fresh gameplay elements.

Next-level gameplay that pushes boundaries

The CATALYST League offers a spectrum of challenges, from trivial to extreme. You might start by defeating a single goblin, then progress to facing hordes of tormented demons.

Each completed challenge awards League Points to unlock powerful Relics – special upgrades including brand-new options like Farming Frenzy and Golden Footed, plus returning favorites from Old School RuneScape Leagues.

Top performers on the CATALYST HiScore board will earn the prestigious Dragon Trophy, while all participants receive commemorative Leagues Trophies. Accumulated League Points can later be redeemed for exclusive in-game rewards after the event concludes.

Celebrating CATALYST's launch, RuneScape offers a limited-time membership deal at $21.99, available September 15-21 throughout the event duration.
