As a survival game whore, I found myself excited at the announcement of RuneScape (never played it) making a co-op survival game.


On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill and craft to survive in this co-operative (1-4) survival crafting game. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can they hope to slay the Dragon Queen—alone or with allies.


Grand Skills, Slay Dragons​

Locate them, throw down the gauntlet and carve your path to the Dragon Queen herself.

Your progress will be under constant threat from the looming shadow of the Dragons, as you level up, arm yourself and prepare to rise to face them. Follow the trail of destruction and uncover the mysteries of the continent to learn not just how to confront the dragons, but how to overcome them. Prepare potions, craft gear and level yourself up to do battle with the most powerful force on the continent. Make history, or become history. The smart money's on the dragon. But we do love an underdog!





Survival Through Sorcery

Chop Trees! Shield yourself with runic energy! Turn bones into... peaches?

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. 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.




Runescape At It's Core

Embark on quests, level skills and wield runes to shape the world around you.

Explore a stunning, hand-crafted landscape ravaged by Anima. This all-new adventure blends High Fantasy, light RPG elements, and iconic RuneScape lore into a never-before-seen continent. Venture into a land hidden since time immemorial, uncover ancient secrets, and battle legendary RuneScape creatures alongside entirely new foes like the fearsome Garou. Prepare to face a world filled with mystery, danger, and unforgettable encounters.



Community Drive, Player Centric

As with all RuneScape games, community is at the heart of everything we do.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is being shaped by player feedback every step of the way, from alpha through to 1.0 and beyond! The expansive continent of Ashenfall remains uncharted, and what lies beyond the veil is still a mystery… for now. Together, we’ll uncover its secrets. Our community will continue to help build and guide our roadmap, a living document that will change and adapt to make this adventure the best it can be. We can't wait!


RuneScape: Dragonwilds started Alpha testing in late 2024, and is launching into Early Access in Spring 2025. From here, our humble team of heroes is developing the project with player feedback at the very core.

The trailer I saw showing off environments immediately sparks similarities to Valheim, especially use of lighting. I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all, looks like they are leaning into it.

Shroud playing it now. Looks like an Enshrouded + Valheim baby from early glances. Not a bad kid to have.

Of course they released this right in the window a billion different games are releasing, because gaming companies are absolutely fucking stupid.

This is 2025, early access games don't need to release anymore. They just exist.

Anybody know when Palworld is launching?

No death trees tho :(

I like it, its a little rough in some parts, like building and saying things aren't supported when they are. The stam system needs a bit of work, unless theres a lot of things later to expand your bar.

So far I'm enjoying it. I never played Runescape but I'm a survuval game nerd and this scratches all the normal itches. Doesn't really innovate or bring anything new...but what it does, it does well so far.

I will say, I'm not an overly large fan of the random warband attacks, and I don't like the limit to 4 players.

Initial impressions seem good. I'll probably get this over the summer and play with my kids.

Good (albeit unfinished) game. I've spent a casual 30+ hours so far and I'm just about to fight the dragon. I've been taking my time and enjoying the world and mechanics.

so while I think this is a great early access, my biggest issue is the super bloom effect, I've tried what i've found to get rid of it, but it just makes the game feel bad. Why is it so hard to make this crisp and clean. You can still have fog and effect, but bloom is so blinding and annoying.

Yeah, I do wish I could tune that a bit too. Haven't played it a ton, but put a few hours into it, ventured into my first vault, died to dragon piss / poison, etc.

Is this actually good? How is it in a Valheim out of 10 scale?

7.5/8

needs more mob diversity, content, hunger/thirst tweaking, ranged and magic perks…..but what’s there is a really good foundation and worth $30 imo.

it just has this haze/blur/not focused look that i don't like. Valheim has it too, but not nearly as bad. I did find a video that shows you how to teak the settings in the .ini file, which was good, but it still did not work perfectly.
I've spent about 3 hours playing, not going to much into it, but deciding to wait till many many more patches since it's early access and I don't want to "redo" everything multiple time. I'll just wait. Game has really good potential and I don't want to do with it, the same i did with Enshrouded and play a ton and never go back. I miss Enshrouded, that game was/is phenomenal.
