Tuesday, 9th June 2026, Cambridge, UK - Jagex: The RuneScape Company, announced during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase that their survival-crafting co-op game, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, will launch on Nintendo SwitchTM  2 on 15th September, 2026. 

The game, which has sold over a million copies during its current Steam Early Access period, welcomes Nintendo players into the world of RuneScape for the very first time.  Alone or in teams of up to four, players will explore the untamed, and fractured land marred by wild magic and terrifying dragons, build shelters, craft weapons, and carve their way through epic questlines and unforgettable encounters.   

“RuneScape: Dragonwilds was built around player freedom allowing them to explore, grind skills, craft, and create unforgettable adventures together,” said Jesse America, Executive Producer of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. “Nintendo Switch 2 gives players a whole new way to experience the continent of Ashenfall, whether they’re jumping into co-op sessions with friends or continuing their journey on the move. We’re excited to bring the full Dragonwilds experience to Nintendo players this September.” 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open-world crafting and survival game that sends solo players or teams of up-to-four across Ashenfall, a previously unexplored continent in Gielinor, to uncover the source of a wild, transformative magic spreading across the fractured land. Harnessing the anima-rich landscape, players can wield powerful spells in combat and use magic to gather resources, craft gear and shelters, and aid their journey. Facing fierce dragons at every turn, players must level up skills, brew potions, and forge equipment as they battle their way toward the Dragon Queen herself. 

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. 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is currently available on Steam Early Access, and will launch its 1.0 version for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on 15th September, 2026, alongside its release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 (and on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers for subscribers), and Xbox Series consoles.
