Survival games have, in many ways, become the new battle royale games. In 2024 alone we saw everything from the creature-catching of Palworld to the gaslamp steampunk fantasy of Nightingale, with Enshrouded, Bellwright, and the Valheim-esque Aska all vying for a place in the spotlight. While the trend feels like its tapering off slightly coming into 2025, the colossal Dune: Awakening is just around the corner, and 11-bit Studios' The Alters, perhaps the most bizarre take on the genre yet, is slated to drop later this year. Where, then, does Jagex's new spinoff title, RuneScape: Dragonwilds sit in the mix? During an exclusive preview at RuneFest 2025, I quiz senior community manager Jake Blunt for all of the details.
New RuneScape survival game isn't just "Valheim with party hats," Jagex says
