Is RS4 the final name?
No. RS4 is a working title. Jagex says it is not necessarily the name it will settle on; it uses RS4 because this is its fourth-generation RuneScape project.

The RS4 Name
The RS4 name is a working title, not the final name. Jagex says RS4 is not necessarily what the game will be called; it uses the name because this is its fourth-generation RuneScape project. Any official rename will be recorded here with its source.
What Jagex said
"Right now, it's rocking a working title: RS4. That isn't necessarily the name we'll eventually settle on, but this is our fourth generation RuneScape project, so RS4 works pretty well for now."
What it means
RS4 is a placeholder that reflects RuneScape's fourth generation of games, not a confirmed product name. Jagex has left room to rename it.
What to watch next
Any final name will be recorded here with its source. If the name changes, this site keeps the same addresses and redirects where needed.
