The game titled “RuneScape: Dragonwilds” can currently be purchased on PC through Steam as an Early Access title, at a cost of $29.99. The developers aim to keep the game in Early Access for an extended period until it’s ready. However, they anticipate launching version 1.0 sometime in early 2026. During this phase, players can expect additional content such as new systems, spells, and even entirely new skills to be added.

At present, “RuneScape: Dragonwilds” encompasses several initial zones, essential survival mechanisms, skills associated with RuneScape, and magic-based survival spells. Players can also craft various equipment and utilize a construction system to expand their home base. Notably, the game currently introduces the first intended Dragon boss, General Velgar, as well as numerous dungeons for exploration.

Additionally, these raid events underwent further modifications, such as a decrease in their occurrence rate, and other balance tweaks, like decreasing the number of meteor showers during Velgar Meteor Barrages. Furthermore, numerous technical issues and user interface glitches were addressed.
