RuneScape: Dragonwilds has taken the gaming community by storm with its unexpected early access launch, coming just weeks after its initial teaser. Dive in to discover what's in store during this exciting early access phase.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds thrilled fans with a surprise announcement of its early access release. On April 16, during a livestream, developer Jagex revealed that the game is now accessible for early access on Steam. This comes shortly after the game's first trailer was released, catching many off guard. The game was first teased to the public in 2022, with alpha testing signups opening in late 2024. The official reveal as RuneScape: Dragonwilds happened on March 31, 2025.
Jagex has set sights on an early 2026 release for Dragonwilds, emphasizing their commitment to delivering a polished and engaging experience. Jagex Executive Producer Jesse America shared that Dragonwilds represents a fresh take on the RuneScape universe, aimed at both long-time fans and newcomers. He stated, "Early access marks the beginning of our journey, with regular updates and community feedback driving us towards creating a beloved open world survival crafting game."
Jagex unveiled an exciting roadmap for Dragonwilds' early access phase, showcasing planned updates. A highlight is the introduction of Fellhollow, a new region teetering between life and death, governed by the soul-eater dragon Imaru. This region is influenced by the wild anima of Ashenfall and the cursed energy of the Underworld, with Death, a familiar face from RuneScape, guiding players through new quests, lore, gear, and music. New skills in magic, ranged, and farming will be added, along with new enemy types like Lesser Dragons, dragon slayer gear, a hardcore mode, and a creative mode. While specific release dates for these updates remain undisclosed, Jagex promises continuous enhancements.
