    RuneScape Goes Portable: Dragonwilds Locked In for Nintendo Switch 2 This September!

    Nintendo just wrapped up its latest Nintendo Direct showcase, and boy, did it deliver a massive bombshell for survival-crafting fans. Jagex—the masterminds behind the iconic RuneScape universe—dropped the official release date for their breakout multiplayer survival game, RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

    Grab your calendars, because the untamed lands of Ashenfall are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on 15th September, 2026!

    Bringing Gielinor to the Next-Gen Handheld

    Having already surpassed an impressive one million copies sold during its Steam Early Access run, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is ready to make its grand debut on Nintendo hardware for the very first time.

    The game shifts the classic high-fantasy lore of RuneScape into a completely fresh, open-world survival experience. Whether you choose to brave the wilds solo or squad up in co-op teams of up to four, you will find yourself exploring the continent of Ashenfall—a beautiful yet fractured land marred by unstable, wild magic and terrifying beasts.

    Jesse America, Executive Producer of RuneScape: Dragonwilds, shared the team’s excitement following the Nintendo Direct announcement:

    “RuneScape: Dragonwilds was built around player freedom allowing them to explore, grind skills, craft, and create unforgettable adventures together. 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.”

    What to Expect in Dragonwilds

    If you’ve spent years grinding Woodcutting in Varrock, forget what you know. Dragonwilds blends iconic lore with hardcore survival mechanics, where magic is your ultimate tool for staying alive.

    • Survival Through Sorcery: The anima-rich landscape lets you use magic for everyday survival. Need materials? Summon a spectral axe to clear a forest instantly. In a tight spot? Snap your fingers to detonate ore veins or blink away in a cloud of smoke. Yes, you can even turn bones into peaches.
    • The Ultimate Dragon Hunt: Ashenfall is crawling with fierce dragons. Players must level up classic skills, brew vital potions, and forge custom equipment to battle their way toward the ultimate endgame threat: the Dragon Queen herself.
    • Familiar Foes & Fresh Faces: Prepare to battle classic RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge the Black Knights, and square off against an entirely new, fearsome threat known as the Garou.
    • A Nostalgic Soundtrack: Your journey will be scored by a sweeping soundtrack featuring beautifully re-orchestrated RuneScape classics alongside hours of brand-new music.

    Mark Your Calendars: 15th September

    The 15th September launch is shaping up to be a monumental day for Jagex. Not only is the game hitting the Nintendo Switch 2, but it will also leave Early Access for its full 1.0 launch on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Even better? Full cross-platform functionality means you can team up with your mates, no matter what platform they play on.

    With Nintendo’s next-gen hardware powering the adventure, gathering resources, building shelters, and slaying dragons on the go is about to look incredibly smooth.

  • Jagex Sets Sail: Havenhythe Part 1 Launches in RuneScape’s Boldest Expansion Yet

    Jagex Sets Sail: Havenhythe Part 1 Launches in RuneScape’s Boldest Expansion Yet

    The wait is finally over for the citizens of Gielinor. Today, Jagex officially pulled back the curtain on the first chapter of Havenhythe, the single largest area expansion in RuneScape’s storied 25-year history.

    This isn’t just another patch; it’s a cornerstone of Jagex’s “Road to Restoration,” a 2026 initiative aimed at bringing the game back to its roots—focusing on exploration, grounded storytelling, and a significantly reduced emphasis on monetisation.

    What is Havenhythe?

    Located east of Morytania, Havenhythe is a mysterious, isolated landmass that has been teased since RuneFest 2025. Unlike the high-fantasy, god-tier threats of recent years, Havenhythe leans into the “Classic RuneScape” feel. It’s a land of ancient civilisations, strange magic, and stories long forgotten.

    The expansion is launching in multiple parts throughout the year, with today’s update opening the gates to the coastal village of Wendlewick and the surrounding wilderness.

    Key Features of Today’s Launch

    Whether you’re a Free-to-Play veteran or a long-term Member, there is a substantial amount of content to dig into:

    A Massive New Map: Explore the first half of a sprawling new region designed to feel like a “natural part of Gielinor.”

    The Hunter Skill Cap Increase: The Hunter skill cap has been raised to level 110, bringing with it new “Big Game Hunter” style encounters and stealth-focused tracking mechanics.

    New Quests:

    Visions of Havenhythe (F2P): Your journey begins at the Rusty Anchor in Port Sarim with a mysterious vision.

    Hearts of Sanguine (F2P): Continue the core narrative as you explore the island’s history.

    Two additional side quests are available exclusively for Members.

    New Boss Encounters:

    Ivar, King of Bones (F2P): An early-game boss designed to teach players core mechanics like protection prayers.

    Silverquill the Dreadhog (Members): A mid-level challenge with telegraphed attacks and unique spike mechanics.

    Fish Farming: A new, casual (but hands-on) activity for Members. You’ll need to stock and clean your pools to harvest fresh rewards.

    A New Era of Integrity

    This launch follows the monumental removal of Treasure Hunter earlier this year, a move that signalled Jagex’s commitment to “Integrity-first” development. With Havenhythe, the developers are focusing on “small, grounded adventures”—the kind of world-building that made players fall in love with the game two decades ago.

    “Havenhythe is designed to be a place you return to, not just an area you complete once and forget,” says the Jagex development team.

    How to Get There

    Ready to start your journey? Head to the Rusty Anchor pub in Port Sarim to trigger the starting vision and set sail for the east.

    • Havenhythe Expansion: The largest landmass expansion in the game’s history is coming in multiple parts!
    • Player-Owned Housing Rework: Construction is finally getting the love it deserves with a level cap increase to 120 and a total system overhaul.
    • Avatar Refresh: In April, we’re finally getting the long-awaited character model updates, new animations, and hairstyles.
    • Integrity Updates: New UI, API plugin support (finally!), and a combat modernisation pass.

    Whether you’re a veteran or haven’t played since 2007, 2026 is looking like the best time to be a ‘Scaper.
