Jagex has officially announced another game in the RuneScape franchise: RuneScape Dragonwilds. Before you get too excited, it’s not a new MMORPG; it’s an “open-world survival adventure game,” with both single-player and online co-op functionality up to four players. Players will be crafting and leveling and gearing their way through the wilderness in pursuit of an epic dragon queen boss in a world that is “RuneScape at its core.”
“Embark on a dragon-slaying adventure on the long-forgotten continent of Ashenfall, in a brand new adventure built in Unreal Engine 5,” Jagex says. “Level up your skills to unlock powerful magical skill spells. Harness the power of anima to shape the environment around you, uncover ancient Dragonkin vaults and battle legendary RuneScape creatures.”
The game has already been in alpha testing since the end of last year, and early access is coming at some point this spring; according to the game’s Steam website, it’ll likely stay in early access until early 2026, though the company is leaving itself wiggle room.
“We’re committed to making RuneScape: Dragonwilds a community-driven game that players want to come back to again and again,” says Jagex.
