Jagex has unveiled RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a cooperative survival game that takes players to the untamed continent of Ashenfall. Built on Unreal Engine 5, this ambitious project introduces a fresh perspective on the RuneScape universe, blending survival elements with the franchise’s signature charm. Slated for an Early Access release this spring, Dragonwilds invites players to explore a forgotten land where ancient dragons have awakened, threatening all who dare to tread there.

Survival in Dragonwilds requires resourcefulness and teamwork. Players must gather materials, construct shelters, and hone their crafting skills to withstand the perils of Ashenfall. The game supports both solo and cooperative play for up to four adventurers, fostering collaboration as players face increasingly challenging threats. A unique highlight is the Anima magic system, which allows players to summon ghostly tools—such as axes for chopping trees or repairing armor—adding a creative twist to traditional survival mechanics.

Set on the uncharted continent of Ashenfall, Dragonwilds ventures far beyond the familiar landscapes of Gielinor. Here, players will encounter ancient mysteries, battle legendary foes, and perhaps even challenge the mighty Dragon Queen. Developed by a team of seasoned industry professionals, the game seeks to merge survival gameplay with the rich storytelling and immersive world-building that define RuneScape .

With its innovative approach and commitment to honoring the franchise’s roots, Dragonwilds promises to offer a dynamic and engaging experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
