Press release:
Monday 31 March, 2025, Cambridge, UK.
The Cambridge-based (UK) indie games publisher and developer Jagex are today very proud and thrilled to announce their all-new open world/survival/crafting/RPG: “RuneScape: Dragonwilds“.

Wishlist RuneScape: Dragonwilds on Steam today to be notified of the game’s release, and to be amongst the first to experience this epic new adventure.

On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill and craft to survive in this co-operative survival crafting game. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to slay the Dragon Queen—alone or with allies.

Wield wild, transformative magic to survive and level up skills to overcome challenges in this brand-new adventure powered by Unreal Engine 5. Explore a stunning, hand-crafted landscape infused with magical energy in an adventure that blends high fantasy with light RPG elements and iconic RuneScape lore.

Harness the power of Anima to reshape your experience. Summon spectral axes to fell trees in an instant or channel nature’s energy to repair broken armour. Discover RuneScape: Dragonwilds unique progression system to unlock new spells, crafting recipes and abilities, providing adventurers countless ways to interact with the world around them.

Play solo or with up to three friends as you venture into the never-before-seen continent of Ashenfall, a land hidden since time immemorial. Uncover ancient secrets, battle legendary RuneScape creatures, and discover a world filled with mystery, danger, and unforgettable encounters. Will you master the arcane to survive, or succumb to the unforgiving dangers of the wild?

“We’re so excited to finally give players a glimpse at the next entry in the RuneScape franchise today with RuneScape: Dragonwilds,” said Jon Bellamy, Jagex CEO.

“RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an entirely new RuneScape experience set within the iconic world of Gielinor and is a game which is worthy of wearing the RuneScape name.”

“From the very beginning, community feedback has been at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. We’ve already conducted closed alpha tests with some of our closest community members, and we’ll be listening to player feedback when building the game throughout Early Access.

We’ve built an entirely new team filled with industry veterans who are focussed on making sure that RuneScape: Dragonwilds sits naturally within the RuneScape franchise, and a game that is loved by both our biggest RuneScape fans and entirely new players alike.”

RuneScape: Dragonwilds will launch into Early Access in Spring 2025 and can be added to your Steam wishlist today. To be among the first to see RuneScape: Dragonwilds in action, tune in to Twitch at 17:00 BST 15 April for a special deep dive into the game.
