Jagex has released RuneScape: Dragonwilds in Early Access on Steam. This is a new survival and crafting game based on the RuneScape universe. The game takes players to a new land called Ashenfall, where they will explore, survive, and fight the powerful Dragon Queen.
The game is set in a new land called Ashenfall. Dragons have returned, and players need to face the powerful Dragon Queen. There is a lot to explore, and the world is full of magic, mystery, and danger. Players need to survive by crafting tools, making potions, and improving their skills. The game supports 1 to 4 players, so you can play alone or with friends.
One of the main features in the game is Anima. It is a magical energy that lets you unlock new powers. You can do things like explode ore or summon a ghostly axe to cut trees faster. These powers make the game more fun and different from other survival games.
Jagex has shared a roadmap for future updates. A new area called Fellhollow will be added soon. It is a dark place between life and death. It is ruled by a soul-eating dragon named Imaru. This will bring more challenges and new gameplay.
More updates are also planned. These include new skills, quests, music, and game modes like hardcore and creative. There will also be raised skill caps and smaller dragons to fight. Jagex said that player feedback will help shape the game.
The launch surprised many fans. The game was released without any big announcement, on a regular Tuesday. This sudden release created a lot of excitement online. One fan said, “It seems like my plans have been made for me.”
The response so far is mostly positive. Players are enjoying the new features. Some liked how you can throw an axe to cut several trees at once. One player said the grind feels better than in the main RuneScape game.
However, some players are unhappy about one thing. You need an Epic Games account to play with others. Even if you buy the game on Steam, the Epic account is still required for multiplayer. Some people do not like using the Epic Games Launcher. But Jagex seems to be preparing for cross-platform play. The game will also launch on PlayStation and Xbox in 2026.
