In-game future content refers to things already in the game, but is showing a preview of content. Unlike future updates, the content exists in the game showing the update that is to come, this can be things such as new armour, effects, towns or locations. The updates may stay in game for possibly years before their actual release, such as the gnome update. Future content is normally previewed by members first, and later released in free to play. Jagex sometimes releases more of the content months before the update it released.
