How to play RuneScape Dragonwilds early access

RuneScape Dragonwilds is now available in early access, but unlike RuneScape Classic, it’s only available on PCs through the Steam store. While there has been no official confirmation from Jagex about the possibility of the game getting released on other platforms, given that it is currently in early access, it isn’t easy to speculate what the future might have in store.

If you are a fan of the RuneScape franchise and want to dive into the world of Dragonwilds, don’t worry, you can do so as soon as you purchase the game from Steam. Here’s everything you need to know about playing RuneScape Dragonwilds in early access.

How to play RuneScape Dragonwilds

You can play RuneScape Dragonwilds right now, but only in early access. All you have to do is head over to the official Steam page of the game and complete the transaction to purchase it. The game is priced at $29.99, and you can enter the early access as soon as you add it to your library. However, the developer has confirmed that the game will feature a higher price after the early access period, so this might be the best time for you to buy it.

While the Dragonwilds‘ full release will feature much more content than the early access, this phase is a good opportunity to go through all the new content. As the developer has confirmed, it won’t charge anything extra for all the content released during the early access period.

RuneScape Dragonwilds early access

While the developer has not announced the full release of RuneScape Dragonwilds, it has clarified that early access is here to stay until at least early 2026. According to the official statement from Jagex, “Our current estimation is that the game will be ready to leave early access in early 2026, but we want to spend the time to get everything right to make sure that our players get a complete, satisfying experience that you’ll want to revisit with friends again and again.”

Although the final version of the game is expected to feature a lot more content than what is currently available, the early access version features the first few regions, survival systems, skills, craftable gears, building systems, dungeons, combat, and also the first Dragon, General Velgar. Additionally, the developer has confirmed that more content will be released regularly throughout the early access period to further expand the game’s storyline.

Will RuneScape Dragonwilds have DLC?

Yes, the developer has confirmed that there might be post-launch DLCs that you can purchase to expand the storyline further. However, the primary focus for the development team right now is to make the early access period successful with all the plans and ideas they are already working on.

The game features a fantasy setting where you get to team up with up to three other players in a co-op survival and crafting environment. The goal is to explore the continent of Ashenfall to unlock ancient secrets, weapons, and abilities to eventually take down the Dragon Queen and her allies in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
