Jagex brings the iconic franchise to console for the first time in its 25-year history, opening the world of RuneScape to millions of new players globally
Wednesday 3rd June, 2026, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the breakout open-world survival crafting game from Jagex: The RuneScape Company, will launch on PlayStation 5 later this year and be available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers at launch. The release marks the first time in the franchise’s 25-year history that a RuneScape title has launched on console, a landmark moment in Jagex’s strategy to expand the franchise to new platforms, new audiences and new markets around the world.
Currently available in Steam Early Access, where it has already sold more than one million copies, RuneScape: Dragonwilds continues to build momentum as one of Jagex’s fastest-growing new releases and a major new chapter in the future of the RuneScape franchise.
Announced as part of yesterday’s PlayStation’s State of Play showcase, RuneScape: Dragonwilds marks the debut of Jagex’s iconic medieval fantasy brand on console. Completely separate from the beloved RuneScape MMORPG, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, Dragonwilds sees players team up to explore Ashenfall’s many varied and wondrous regions, complete grand quests, grind skills, slay dragons, and survive through sorcery.
Key Features:
- RuneScape at its core!: Embark on quests, level skills while exploring a beautiful, hand-crafted world. This all-new adventure blends high-fantasy and iconic RuneScape lore on an undiscovered continent. Battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge Black Knights and the entirely new and fearsome Garou, all set to a sweeping soundtrack of reorchestrated RuneScape classics and hours of brand-new music.
- Grind Skills, Slay Dragons: Locate them, throw down the gauntlet, and carve a path to the Dragon Queen herself. 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.
- Survival Through Sorcery: Summon a spectral axe to fell trees in an instant! Blink away from danger in a cloud of magic. Turn bones into… peaches? The Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers a power unlike any other. Conjure a tornado of fish from a lake! Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers! Journey through the vibrant regions of Ashenfall, discover why wild magic spills from the fractured lands and harness that power to survive!
- Community Driven, Player Centric: Like all RuneScape games, community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Whether players are adventuring with friends or going it alone, every opinion matters, and it’s up to the community to help shape the future of our game.
Jesse America, Executive Producer, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, said: “The world of RuneScape continues to go from strength to strength after 25 years of being an icon of the MMORPG space. Bringing Dragonwilds and its mix of crafting, survival, and quintessential RuneScape-ness to new platforms like PlayStation 5 is key to unleashing its magic to more players around the gaming globe.”
“We’re incredibly proud to have RuneScape: Dragonwilds launch on PlayStation Plus later this year. This means even more gamers can effortlessly team up and explore Ashenfall, go questing across its dangerous regions, battle dragons, skill up on more and more abilities, and ultimately survive its thrall.”
