Jagex unveiled RuneScape: Dragonwilds, an open-world survival take on the beloved MMO franchise.
Jagex, the developer of RuneScape, is taking on a bold new chapter in the franchise with the reveal of RuneScape: Dragonwilds, an open-world co-op survival game that takes place in the beloved MMO universe. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the latest entry in the franchise, enabled players to explore the forbidden continent of Ashenfall, harness powerful magic, and uncover ancient secrets to stop the Dragon Queen, who has awakened once more.
Unlike previous RuneScape titles, Dragonwilds introduces a survival-based gameplay loop, where players must gather resources, build shelters, and craft weapons to endure the challenges of Ashenfall. The game retains the essence of RuneScape while incorporating modern survival mechanics. The game appears to be a standalone experience, so both longtime fans and newcomers can enjoy the newest entry of the series entirely.
Check out the trailer for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, taken from the official RuneScape: Dragonwilds YouTube channel:
Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy emphasized that community feedback has been integral to the development of Dragonwilds. The studio has already conducted closed alpha tests with select players, and plans to refine the game further based on feedback throughout Early Access.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is set to launch in Early Access this spring, with a more in-depth presentation scheduled for 15 April at 5 PM BST/6 PM CEST on Twitch. With its blend of survival mechanics, cooperative gameplay, and the rich lore of RuneScape, Dragonwilds is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the franchise.
