Skill up, slay dragons, and wield sorcery to survive a world filled with mystery, danger, and unforgettable encounters in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, an epic new open world survival crafting game set in the beloved RuneScape universe, available today on Steam Early Access.
On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill, and craft to survive in this co-operative 1-4 player survival crafting adventure, as you embark on an epic quest to slay the Dragon Queen. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to defeat this sinister new threat—alone or with allies.
Journey through the vast, vibrant regions of Ashenfall and unveil the ruins of forgotten civilisations to discover why wild transformative magic spills from its fractured lands. Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers, or conjure a spectral axe to chop down a line of trees in an instant; the Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers you a power unlike any other.
Craft gear, prepare potions, and level up your skills to confront the dragons and throw down the gauntlet against the most powerful force on the continent. Explore a stunning, handcrafted landscape ravaged by Anima in an all-new adventure that blends High Fantasy, light RPG elements, and iconic RuneScape lore.
Venture into a land hidden since time immemorial, uncover ancient secrets, and battle legendary RuneScape creatures alongside entirely new foes. Face a world under constant threat from the looming shadow of the dragons, uncovering the mysteries of Ashenfall to learn not just how to confront them, but how to overcome them.
“We’re so excited to surprise players with our Early Access launch today and invite them to discover the magical world of RuneScape: Dragonwilds right now,” said Jesse America, Executive Producer. “We’ve been working hard to develop an entirely new type of RuneScape experience that ignites fans’ passion, creativity and love for questing, and provide them with an all-new RuneScape adventure to discover. And this is just the start of our development journey. Throughout Early Access, we’ll be updating the game regularly with new content and features, while listening closely to the community to deliver an iconic open world survival crafting game that is loved equally by our biggest RuneScape fans and new players alike. Our community is at the heart of everything we do at Jagex and we look forward to seeing how they shape RuneScape: Dragonwilds throughout our Early Access journey.”
Community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds and, from day one, player feedback will continue to help build and guide the game’s roadmap to make the adventure the best it can be. Throughout Early Access players will experience several dangerous regions of Ashenfall, and can look forward to the addition of a new region – Fellhollow – a location suspended between life and death and ruled over by a dangerous dragon overlord, opposed by a well-known character from the RuneScape franchise. Plus, expect new quests, NPC’s, lore, music, gear, modes, ongoing quality of life improvements and much, much more.

Today, developer Alkimia Interactive has revealed new insights into the Gothic 1 Remake. The development team offered another in-depth look, as part of their making-of-series, into the creation of their ambitious project: This remake of the cult classic will not only deliver a complete visual overhaul but also introduce systemic and narrative refinements that aim to elevate the beloved original into a modern experience.
“Our job was to find out what elements should stay exactly as they are and what elements should be expanded,” explains Reinhard Pollice, Alkimia Interactive’s Studio Director. Throughout the production, the developers found themselves constantly navigating between honoring the original while thoughtfully enhancing it with new ideas to make the experience even more compelling. Gothic 1 Remake aims to stay true to the original’s core narrative, while addressing long-standing issues: Plot holes, contradictions, and logical inconsistencies have been carefully reviewed and rewritten.
Creating a believable, breathing open world is one of the remake’s central design goals. The team implemented a detailed living world simulation where characters follow daily routines, witness player actions, and dynamically respond to events, even when the player isn’t nearby. “We’re not just configuring NPCs’ homes or schedules.”, says Javier Untoria, Lead Game Designer. “We are creating a living world with a lot of character.”
Another exciting part of the remake is how the development team expands existing areas and and found inspiration in elements that were originally cut. The development team looked at areas that were empty in the original and fleshed them out. From mysterious dungeons to hidden paths and deeper interactions with orc culture, many of the game’s lore-rich aspects are being given space to truly shine.

These are exciting times, we’re closing in on launch, and we’ve just initiated a major preview beta where hundreds of journalists and content creators are playing the early parts of the game and will be releasing their coverage on April 25th.
These past few weeks we’ve been steadily gearing up, releasing the Character Creator & Benchmark Mode back in February, starting pre-orders in March, and continuing to release new livestreams, videos, and details to keep you informed.
We want to thank everyone who has shared in our excitement. It’s been a joy reading all your comments across the various community channels.
Our ongoing Persistent Closed Beta is also continuing in full force, with regular updates, and the feedback we’ve been collecting from beta testers has been invaluable in making sure we can launch a quality game. We have a very active Discord going with our beta testers where our developers can interact directly with them to ensure we collaboratively make Dune: Awakening a better game.
Thanks to this process, we’ve concluded that with a bit more time to cook, we can act on a lot more of the feedback we know is important to our beta testers.
As such, we will be moving the release date of Dune: Awakening to June 10th, with head start launching on June 5th. This is not a decision we take lightly, we know everyone is very excited to get playing, but these three extra weeks will give us the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one.
We’re also excited about the fact that this will allow us to do a large-scale beta weekend next month where even more of you will get the opportunity to play the game and share your feedback. We will release more information about this soon.
Dune: Awakening is a beast of a game. This is multiplayer survival on a massive scale, and we’re making gameplay and technical strides not seen in the genre before. We want to make sure we stick the landing.
Also, don’t forget to tune in to today’s livestream on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch, where our developers will be showing and talking more about the combat in Dune: Awakening.
With best regards from the entire Dune: Awakening team here at Funcom

The Drifter Crisis reaches its boiling point in Capsuleer Day XXII: Nexus Reckoning, launching 15 April in EVE Online. This full-scale seasonal event invites capsuleers across New Eden to take part in a faction-driven war that spans wormholes, Pochven, and empire space. Players will engage in high-risk combat, navigate lucrative challenges, and unlock exclusive rewards as the final phase of the crisis unfolds.
With the conclusion of the Race for the Hives, the top-scoring factions are now establishing footholds in Drifter wormhole systems—marking the beginning of a wider offensive that will require support from capsuleers of all stripes.

Long-running Drifter Crisis content remains active and expands to more regions, while the Horizon Siege Point site returns with new twists inside Pochven and wormhole space.
