First Retro Override Drop - This Week In RuneScape
We asked – you responded – we came back and asked for more feedback, please – now it's finally here: your first community-voted cosmetic Override! Read on to find out how to grab your shiny new Dragon Scimitar, plus all the latest Prime Gaming goodies.
Earlier this year we asked you to suggest retro-themed Overrides that you'd want to see as future cosmetics in RuneScape.
We got an amazing response to the initial call, and over the past few months you've been guiding the development process, from voting to feedback.
Now our first release is finally here – it's the Dragon Scimitar!
We've listened carefully to your input, and the Scimitar comes with two variants – one that has a more retro feel, and a remastered version which gives you that vintage spirit but with more modern graphical features.
The full pack, available today, includes:
Replica Dragon ScimitarReplica Dragon Off-Hand ScimitarDragonwing ScimitarDragonwing Off-Hand Scimitar
Pick it up in the Marketplace for 180 RuneCoins (200 for Free to Play)!
As we announced last week, the latest Prime Gaming rewards are coming this Tuesday!
This drop gives you 7 days of Membership and a bountiful Prime Package, containing:
1 Deathtouched Dart5 Prismatic Lamps2 Aura Refreshes5 Pulse Cores1 monthly D&D reset
