What are these RS Teasers?



The RS Teasers are images supplied directly by Jagex and sent to us here at RuneHQ. We strive to release them to the public ASAP when we receive them. These images are for the next planned, in-game update. The "week of" is the planned release week, but please keep in mind that sometimes problems occur and an update may be pushed back a week or an update may have to happen out of order due to technical issues. Also keep in mind that RuneHQ is not a part of Jagex!
