New RuneScape game in Unreal Engine 5 unveiled in official gameplay trailer

Jagex has officially showcased a new RuneScape game powered by the incredible Unreal Engine 5 in new gameplay and teaser trailers.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an all-new open-world survival crafting game powered by Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5, and will take players to the forgotten continent of Ashenfall, where dragons have awoken. Players will need to gather resources, build, improve skills, and, of course, fight the dangerous inhabitants of the continent to survive. Dragonwilds has already received a Steam listing where more details for the title can be found.

According to the listing, Dragonwilds will be a 1-4 player co-op title where progress for the party will be under constant threat from the "looming shadow of the Dragons".

Dragonwilds, being based in the iconic world of RuneScape, will incorporate many aspects of the original MMORPG, with Jagex explaining players will be able to explore the vast regions of Ashenfall by embarking on quests. Additionally, players will be able to unlock magical spells such as summoning a spectral axe that chops down a line of trees in an instant.

Taking a page out of the very successful OldSchool RuneScape, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be "Community Driven, Player Centric," with Jagex writing on the Steam listing it will be shaped by player feedback "every step of the way".

RuneScape: Dragonwilds hasn't received an official release date yet, but it will be coming to Early Access in Spring 2025. For more information about the coming title, check out the Steam Store listing here.
