Monday 28th February 2022, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape’s Abyssal Slayer Creatures launches today and delivers an all-new Slayer dungeon, providing players with a whole new way to help train their Slayer skill to 120 and earn powerful rewards. This member only content features three new Abyssal Slayer Creatures and is aimed at the most accomplished combat players, requiring Slayer skill 95 and above.
Located in the depths of the city of Senntisten, a portal has been opened allowing demons to pass through. Players will need to battle through the slayer dungeon, Senntisten Asylum, and face three new high-level Slayer creature mobs; Abyssal Savage (95 Slayer), Abyssal Beast (105 Slayer), and Abyssal Lord (115 Slayer). The Slayer update marks the five-year anniversary since the concept of these three demons were shown to the players in 2017 and has been a heavily requested update among the RuneScape community.
Those who are brave enough will claim powerful rewards, including armour spikes upgrade to deal more damage, a tier 85 melee power armour helmet to increase adrenaline gains, and a brand-new 92 melee weapon called the Abyssal Scourge. This weapon serves as an update to the iconic Abyssal Whip that was first added to RuneScape over 17 years ago.
RuneScape’s Yak Track is also back from today until April 24th, where players can get their hands on Elder Gods themed cosmetic rewards and pets by taking part in fun and varied tasks all over Gielinor.
Abyssal Slayer Creatures is live today in RuneScape on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
