On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill, and craft to survive in this co-operative 1-4 player survival crafting adventure, as you embark on an epic quest to slay the Dragon Queen. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to defeat this sinister new threat—alone or with allies.
Journey through the vast, vibrant regions of Ashenfall and unveil the ruins of forgotten civilisations to discover why wild transformative magic spills from its fractured lands. Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers, or conjure a spectral axe to chop down a line of trees in an instant; the Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers you a power unlike any other.
Craft gear, prepare potions, and level up your skills to confront the dragons and throw down the gauntlet against the most powerful force on the continent. Explore a stunning, handcrafted landscape ravaged by Anima in an all-new adventure that blends High Fantasy, light RPG elements, and iconic RuneScape lore.
Venture into a land hidden since time immemorial, uncover ancient secrets, and battle legendary RuneScape creatures alongside entirely new foes. Face a world under constant threat from the looming shadow of the dragons, uncovering the mysteries of Ashenfall to learn not just how to confront them, but how to overcome them.
“We’re so excited to surprise players with our Early Access launch today and invite them to discover the magical world of RuneScape: Dragonwilds right now,” said Jesse America, Executive Producer. “We’ve been working hard to develop an entirely new type of RuneScape experience that ignites fans’ passion, creativity and love for questing, and provide them with an all-new RuneScape adventure to discover. And this is just the start of our development journey. Throughout Early Access, we’ll be updating the game regularly with new content and features, while listening closely to the community to deliver an iconic open world survival crafting game that is loved equally by our biggest RuneScape fans and new players alike. Our community is at the heart of everything we do at Jagex and we look forward to seeing how they shape RuneScape: Dragonwilds throughout our Early Access journey.”
Community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds and, from day one, player feedback will continue to help build and guide the game’s roadmap to make the adventure the best it can be. Throughout Early Access players will experience several dangerous regions of Ashenfall, and can look forward to the addition of a new region – Fellhollow – a location suspended between life and death and ruled over by a dangerous dragon overlord, opposed by a well-known character from the RuneScape franchise. Plus, expect new quests, NPC’s, lore, music, gear, modes, ongoing quality of life improvements and much, much more.
