Jagex’s survival-crafting spin-off RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be supported for years to come as millions of players continue to flock to the studio’s latest game.
Dragonwilds, which released in early access back in early 2025, is now in its full 1.0 form with new console releases on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch 2. Jagex has already announced a slew of updates for 2027 as part of its Blood Crystal Saga, but more Sagas are already planned for the game as well.
In a discussion at RuneFest, Executive Producer Jesse America and Creative Director Rick Turek confirmed that there are already plans for multiple sagas that will result in years of support for RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
“There is a string of sagas planned,” the developers told WCCFTech in an interview at the event. “And we’re committed to the game for the long haul”. With each saga currently taking up a year of content each, we should see support for the game stretching into 2030.
Jagex confirmed that the crafting game has been a massive success for the studio with the game boasting millions of players. In the interview, it was confirmed that “close to three million people have played the game now”, confirming that those numbers are all “unique players”.
For its 1.0 release, RuneScape: Dragonwilds also launched in Xbox Game Pass and on the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus. Jagex told the outlet that the game’s reception via these services is not only high, but higher than usual.
“Sony and Microsoft are extremely happy with results and interaction with RuneScape: Dragonwilds,” they said. “Higher than what they normally see.” Of course, despite the fact that this is Jagex’s first console game ever, the game has been extremely well received on all platforms, although its Nintendo Switch 2 port does exhibit some issues.
For all platforms, though, Jagex is committed to continued support. The studio confirmed that there is a “multi-year plan” for the ongoing game, although there has been no confirmation as to how many years the game will be supported. Although, considering Jagex’s past of supporting games for ages, fans probably shouldn’t be concerned.
Additionally, Jagex is partnering with Curseforge to bring easy modding to the survival-crafting game, allowing fans to expand the game however they wish while the studio works on additional sagas in the years to come. As any gamer knows, modding is a huge component of survival games, and Dragonwilds is no different.
