RuneScape Dev Pulls Trailer After 6-Fingered Knight Leads to Generative AI Allegations

RuneScape developer Jagex has pulled a new trailer after a six-fingered knight led to allegations of generative AI usage from fans.

There were some ups and downs for RuneScape players over the weekend. What started with a string of big reveals from RuneFest 2026 ended with social media users voicing their concern that generative AI had been used to make the new trailer for RuneScape 3 's Dragon Slayer 2 quest.

The backlash was loud enough that Jagex stepped in not only to release an official response on the matter but also to pull the trailer entirely while it investigates "urgently." The statement, posted on Reddit by social media manager Alex Sween (via Kotaku), acknowledged some of the more undeniable concerns related to the trailer – including the fact that one of its knights has six fingers.
