The long-running high fantasy series, RuneScape, is finally making the long-awaited leap to consoles. Although it’s not the same as the popular MMORPG that preceded it. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a new open-world survival game from Jagex that takes players to the unexplored continent of Ashenfall to adventure solo or in co-op with friends. After 18 months in Steam Early Access, during which the game sold a reported 1.6 million copies, this launch also marks the game’s full 1.0 release on PC.
Key Features of RuneScape: Dragonwilds
- RuneScape at its Core: Embark on quests, level skills while exploring a beautiful, hand-crafted world. This all-new adventure blends high-fantasy and iconic RuneScape lore on an undiscovered continent. Battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge Black Knights and the entirely new and fearsome Garou, all set to a sweeping soundtrack of reorchestrated RuneScape classics and hours of brand-new music.
- Grind Skills, Slay Dragons: Locate them, throw down the gauntlet, and carve a path to the Dragon Queen herself. Follow the trail of destruction and uncover the mysteries of the continent to learn not just how to confront the dragons, but how to overcome them.
- Survival Through Sorcery: Summon a spectral axe to fell trees in an instant! Blink away from danger in a cloud of magic. Turn bones into… peaches? The Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers a power unlike any other. Conjure a tornado of fish from a lake! Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers! Journey through the vibrant regions of Ashenfall, discover why wild magic spills from the fractured lands, and harness that power to survive!
- Community Driven, Player Centric: Like all RuneScape games, community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Whether players are adventuring with friends or going it alone, every opinion matters, and it’s up to the community to help shape the future of our game.
It’s clear that The RuneScape Company has big plans for Dragonwilds, having already confirmed that the first post-launch update, called Luminance, will be released in December, with a full 2027 roadmap to be revealed during RuneFest in October. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is available now digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Jagex Launcher. Physical editions of the game are expected to hit shelves in November. Dragonwilds has also been added to the Xbox Game Pass library and the Extra and Premium tiers on PlayStation Plus.
