Jagex has announced a brand new title in its long-running RuneScape series – RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, it’s a survival crafting title that enters early access for PC this Spring. Check out the first gameplay teaser below, courtesy of IGN.
Set in Ashenfall, the story concerns the awakening of dragons. Since this is seemingly bad, players embark to find and defeat the Dragon Queen, though other hostile forces exist. The typical fantasy assortment of spells, swords, shields, and more are available. However, you can also build structures and houses to reside, even going as far as using magic to chop down trees. Solo play is available alongside co-op.
A separate “World” teaser trailer highlights the different locations in Ashenfall, from windmills and overgrown ruins to dungeons with dangerous-looking plants and foul swamps. The lighting and shadows stand out along with the foliage while the water realistically ripples. There’s even a bit of snowfall and lighting. Stay tuned for more details and a proper release date in the coming weeks.
