RS4 is being built in Unreal Engine
Unreal Engine is confirmed for RS4. Engine version, system requirements, and specific gameplay systems have not been announced.

Jagex confirms Unreal Engine for RS4. The announcement does not specify a version.
What the engine tells us
It identifies the technology being used, rather than the finished gameplay. An engine choice alone cannot establish combat feel, server capacity, visual quality, or hardware requirements.
What remains open
Platforms and system requirements are still unannounced. Treat claims about exact frame rates, download sizes, or minimum specifications as unverified until an official technical announcement appears.
Our comparison guide keeps technology separate from the parts of the game that players will actually experience.
