RuneScape: Dragonwilds is currently in Early Access, and has been since April 15th 2025.
Early Access? What's that?
Early Access is a model of game development that means users can access and play a game whilst it's development is ongoing, allowing them to follow the game as it grows and evolves towards an eventual full release. Along the way, players can provide feedback to help shape the game into what it will become!
What type of experience should I expect from Early Access?
As an Early Access player, you're getting a first-hand look at the game as we continue to tweak, grow and polish it. This means that it's likely that some aspects of the game will change over time with features being added, removed, tweaked or reworked entirely. It's also possible you may encounter technical issues and bugs that will be addressed in future updates - if you do, please report them to us in a bug report so we can investigate!
What will happen when RuneScape: Dragonwilds leaves Early Access?
The game will no longer be marked as Early Access on Steam, and the full version will be made available on Steam. Don't worry - if you purchase the game whilst it's still in Early Access, you'll keep your access once it launches.
