RuneScape: Dragonwilds is set to mark a major milestone for the franchise as it becomes the first RuneScape title to launch on consoles, with a confirmed release on PlayStation 5 in 2026, ending more than two decades of the series being primarily PC-focused.
Originally launched in Early Access on Steam in April 2025, the game quickly built a strong player base by introducing a new direction for the franchise that blends open-world exploration, survival mechanics, skill progression, quests, and challenging encounters within a fantasy world inspired by RuneScape lore.
While designed to retain familiar elements for longtime fans, Dragonwilds also aims to welcome new players, with its console release representing one of the biggest expansions in franchise history and opening the door for a wider audience to experience the series in a new way.
