Jagex Unveils New Open-World Survival Game in the RuneScape Universe

Jagex has revealed RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a new open-world survival game set within the popular RuneScape universe. The game is slated to launch in Steam Early Access very soon.

Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Dragonwilds unfolds on the lost continent of Ashenfall and tasks players – either alone or with up to three friends – to discover ancient secrets, battle recognizable RuneScape enemies, and, most importantly, survive. That means a robust crafting system allows for base-building and players can forge new gear and spells. 

So far, Jagex has only released two brief teaser videos showcasing the environments and brief snippets of gameplay. A developer Q&A provides a little more detail on what Dragonwilds entails, which we’ve posted below. 

Jagex stresses that the game is a traditional open-world game rather than an MMO, and features quests, recognizable NPCs, classic RuneScape skills, and, as the subtitle suggests, plenty of dragons. Check out the screenshots gallery below. 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is releasing on Steam Early Access this Spring.
