Studio Jagex Ltd Survival Crafting Adventure game Runescape Dragonwilds has released its 1.0 today for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Here is what the developer shared about the game.
Overview:
Our Early Access Journey
In April 2025 we launched into Early Access with the first Dragon General, Velgar, and the first two regions: Brynmoor and Ghornfell. We launched with 9 unique skills to level up, unlocking powerful, transformative Skill Spells to make the mundanity of survival a little more magical – no more grinding through countless trees, chopping until the sun comes up. 12 Unique armour sets, across 3 combat styles, supported by a range of weapons up to Iron tier.
In June 2025 we expanded our Magic Skill Tree, added additional building pieces including the Palisade Walls for protecting against Base Raids (which we’ve rebalanced and tuned down based on player feedback).
In September we added Ranged skill tree abilities including Hunter Sense, Spectral Arrow and and Snare Skill Spells. We also added poison, barbed and flaming arrows to deal poison, bleed and fire damage, as well as enchanted bolts for Crossbows (including the iconic Blurite Crossbow). We also added the Custom and Creative world options with over 50 custom world setting variables for you to make your world, your way, and tens of thousands of creative and custom worlds have been made since then!
In December, our first Major Update “Fellhollow” arrived with the Farming skill, a new building kit, two new NPCs and a shop for trading Soul Fragments with Death himself. Material upgrades brought you the Castle kit to make a spooky stronghold. You can also earn and equip Steel tier gear, complete with its iconic plumed Full Helm, and then made RuneScape history by adding Mounts! Ride a terrorbird and traverse the treacherous terrain in style! The second Dragon boss, Imaru the Revenant Dragon has tested, and will continue to test, the strength of your soul and offers unique rewards for those who grant her finality and peace.
We added more to Fellhollow with our minor updates, monthly content drops adding quests, rewards and new decorations – new repeatable content in the form of Spectral Platforming, Buried Treasures and Letters for the Dead, and quests in the form of “Things That Go Boom In The Night”, “Doric’s Quest”, “Letters for the Dead”, “What Remains is Written” and “Mirror, Mirror”.
In March, we launched our next Major Update, with 4 more quests for players to take on, a new boss to overcome in the legendary Black Knight Titan, and a new region – Dowdun Reach. We launched support for Dedicated Servers, improved controller support, and a ton of bug fixes, before the arrival of Fishing.
We added three new quests: “Cook’s Assistant”, “Animal Magnetism” and “A Room with a Garou” alongside the Fishing skill which let you catch pristine fish to make new wall-mounted decorative trophies of your finest catches, providing the best healing-per-stack of any food item. We added Auto-run, auto-magnetising nearby items in the world to reduce inputs picking up items around you, the option to hide your helmet to show off your beautiful face and stopped Chickens, Cows and Kebbits from automatically attacking the player unprovoked so you can enjoy your cozy abode or a chill walk around in peace.
We reworked health and healing to let you tick-eat food like the other RuneScape games for optimal survivability in combat. We removed Wardstone to make your health bar more clearly representing your survivability, but also adding Sanguine Urns around the world to increase your Max HP by 10, permanently, for each unique one you find and use.
Our latest and largest Major Update, Umbral Sands, introduced a new form of Mount – the flying carpet – and introduced you to a region inspired by the Kharidian Deserts of RuneScape. Within this region, we introduced the Kalphite Queen and her brood, Fuzan the Fire Dragon and the Kot’Haar, sentient golems of Obsidian, given life by an Elder Artefact. We also added the Nightmare Crucible, allowing you to earn upgrade materials to power up your favourite weapons from lower Power Levels to be max level to face Kuldra with the release of Scorned Wilderness. The region allows users to craft Adamant Armour, Red Dragonhide and Infinity Robes as well as additional vestiges including Obsidian Armour, the Obsidian shield and the Fire Cape. We expanded the Skill Trees for Mining and Woodcutting, giving you new Skill Spells and passive rewards, and added more NPC traders for users to trade with.
Runescape Dragonwilds is fully out today on all major consoles, you can get it on from its steam page. I also reviewed the original early access release.
