Ashenfall is about to open up to console players... RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a survival and crafting game developed and published by Jagex, lands in version 1.0 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15, 2026. Already available in early access on Steam, the title transports the RuneScape universe into an open-world adventure, playable solo or in co-op up to four players.
The gameplay centers on exploration, resource gathering, equipment crafting, and shelter construction. Players will also level up their skills, brew potions, and tap into the magic of the Ashenfall continent to survive. This magical realm enables more efficient harvesting, swifter travel, and tougher combat, all while facing dragons and a host of creatures from the RuneScape universe.
The adventure unfolds on Ashenfall, an as-yet undiscovered continent of Gielinor, marked by wild magic that reshapes the land. Alone or in teams, players will have to uncover the source of this power, traverse diverse regions, and trail the dragons to the Dragon Queen. Jesse America, the game's executive producer, sums up the project’s aim: "RuneScape: Dragonwilds was built around the freedom granted to players, allowing them to explore, hone their skills, craft gear, and share unforgettable adventures together".
The launch on Nintendo Switch 2 will let players dive into RuneScape: Dragonwilds in handheld mode or on the big screen, while the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series versions will also arrive with the full release. Jagex plans to keep evolving the game with its community, a key point for a title that has already gone through early access. It remains to be seen how this cooperative survival formula will land with both long-time RuneScape players and newcomers.
