Bridgers returned with ‘Lost Boys’, her first new solo music in four years, last month. The track is the lead single to Bridgers’ upcoming album ‘Lost Weekend’, which is due to launch August 14, and features vocals from her Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker alongside contributions from Christian Lee Hutson and Jack Antonoff.

The accompanying music video features several nods to RuneScape. The fantastical clip sees Bridgers and some live-action role-playing friends driving around until they stop off at a petrol station, where they interrupt Licorice Pizza star Skyler Gisondo playing Old School RuneScape. After his encounter with the merry band, Gisondo’s character returns home and starts training with iconic RuneScape weapon, the pickaxe. He’s then welcomed into their clan for a woodland rave. The video ends with Bridgers and Gisondo inside a RuneScape-inspired virtual world as a chirpy, 8-bit remix of ‘Lost Boys’ plays.

Doubling down on the millennial nostalgia, Phoebe Bridgers has now released a ‘Lost Boys’ ringtone and launched a desktop game that brings together RuneScape and Temple Run. Check it out here.

Speaking to Eurogamer, a spokesperson for RuneScape developers Jagex said: “It’s incredible to see Old School RuneScape showing up in unexpected places like this. We’re huge admirers of Phoebe work and [director Lance Oppenheim’s] filmmaking, so when they contacted us to talk about getting a small piece of Gielinor into the music video, it was genuinely exciting and goes to show the wide-reaching cultural impact this game has had.

“Our community reaction has been so positive too, and moments like this remind us how Old School and RuneScape continue to live well beyond the games themselves,” they added. “We’re grateful for Phoebe and Lance for featuring us and to have played a small part in the feeling the song ‘Lost Boys’ evokes in us all.”

You won’t be able to play the ‘Lost Boys’ game while attending Bridgers’ upcoming headline tour though, as she’s banned mobile phones. The arena run will begin in September in North America before heading to Europe and the UK in November. Visit here for tickets and more information.

In other news, fans aren’t happy that Sony has made the “frightening” decision to stop making physical games from the start of 2028.
