Overview

• Jagex has cut roles primarily in non-development and non-player-facing teams as part of a company-wide restructuring under CEO Jon ‘Mod North’ Bellamy.
• Work on Project Zanaris has been paused indefinitely so Jagex can enhance the core Old School RuneScape experience and drive community growth.
• Officials say the pause on Zanaris predated the staff cuts and does not affect the existing RuneScape roadmap.
• The studio’s recent Steam Early Access release, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, has attracted strong player engagement.
• Jagex plans to introduce time-limited Community Events inspired by Zanaris concepts and has opened a Discord feedback forum to gather player ideas.
