The Iconic RuneScape Battleground is Transformed into an Oasis After 18 years of PvP Fighting, Staking and Duelling

Tuesday 4^th January 2022, Cambridge, UK – After 18 years of being the battlefield for PvP combat, RuneScape today says goodbye to its iconic Duel Arena and is set to welcome heroes to Het’s Oasis, which will introduce an all-new landscape, new skilling methods and two new miniquests to experience.

Kicking off today with the Oasis Restoration, the heroes of RuneScape will be tasked with the transformation of the Duel Arena following a cataclysmic earthquake that has destroyed the area. Heroes will need to work together to turn the ruins of the arena from a bloodthirsty fighting pit, where heroes have long staked their wealth in one-on-one matches, to a tranquil oasis. Heroes will work together to rebuild the area by taking part in daily tasks with rewards based not only on their own progress, but on the progress of the whole community.

Heroes who participate in the rejuvenation of the former arena’s lands will receive exclusive event rewards, including a new crocodile pet, a new title, desert-themed cosmetic armour as well as the comfy and resilient ‘Gators’ footwear.

Following the two-week event, the reformed arena will be known as Het’s Oasis – an area of learning and exploration with new skill-related content for those looking to boost their Agility, Hunter and Farming skills. Heroes will also assist the God of Death in two Eye of Het miniquests as they delve into Het’s Tomb in search of a powerful object that will aid the young gods as part of the Elder God Wars saga.

The Oasis Restoration is live today in RuneScape on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.

Notes to Editors:
RuneScape’s Duel Arena was added in 2004 and allowed players to challenge other players to one-on-one PVP fights. Players were able to stake any amount on the outcome of the fight with the winner taking all.

Explore the beautiful world of ‘Headland’, making friends and fighting enemies along the way to rebuild the Imagination Core!

Copenhagen, Denmark – 4th January 2022 – Award-winning games studio Northplay announced today that Headland is launching on Nintendo Switch on January 13th. Featuring fast-paced action set in a beautifully fantastical world, Headland is a little adventure about a big imagination, coming soon!

“Headland was really well received when we launched it on iOS and Android, but we’ve added a bunch of new content and features that set it apart from the mobile game and tailor it to the Switch audience,” said Michael Flarup from Northplay. “Given that it was crafted as a premium experience from the start, Headland is a perfect fit for the platform and we can’t wait to open the gates to the magical world we’ve built for Switch players in this fun action adventure next week!”

A powerful force has destroyed the Imagination Core inside Nor’s Headland, stealing away the color and inspiration from his world. Now he must journey into the lush fantasy of his imagination to fight monsters and gather the scattered fragments of his creativity.

As you explore the grassy meadows, deep caves and dark castles of Headland’s dreamlike world, you will encounter a host of monsters to be defeated using Nor’s trusty sword and quick reflexes in an adventure full of varied challenges for you to overcome on your path to unlocking the full power of Nor’s imagination.  

To help you succeed on your quest, you’ll want to collect as many resources as you can while exploring. New weapons can be unlocked in arenas and then upgraded using the resources you’ve gathered, giving you the power to define your own playstyle as part of a satisfying loop of resource gathering, upgrading, and equipping new tools to try out. 

Headland delivers all this in a vivid and magical world brought to life through it’s engaging story and a delightful cast of new robot friends that you can meet during your journey. Together with Nor and his robot buddies, help uncover the mysteries behind the dark force in order to rebuild the Imagination Core and save Headland!
