RuneScape: Dragonwilds was introduced just a couple of weeks ago, and at the moment developer Jagex hosted a livestream the place they confirmed a deep-dive of the sport and revealed the sport’s launch date. Seems, it is at the moment! As in proper now, at the moment, as in you’ll be able to go to Steam to buy the game in early access if that is one thing you would be fascinated with.
This’ll be fairly a unique RuneScape expertise than you is likely to be used to, although, as this spin-off from the long-running MMO is a type of open world, co-op, survival crafting form of video games. The Steam web page makes it clear that the sport remains to be “RuneScape at its core”, as you may have quests to enterprise out on, magic to make use of to craft houses and combat enemies, and there is even some “gentle RPG components” too.
It is nonetheless a multiplayer expertise too, as as much as 4 of you’ll be able to play collectively as you got down to slay the Dragon Queen. Oh, yeah, dragons aren’t your pals sadly, it’s a must to kill them, which I suppose is the standard factor to do to the scaly creatures. General, it seems one thing akin to Valheim, albeit with that normal RuneScapey vibe.
In a press launch Jagex stated they’re planning common updates for the sport, with an enormous concentrate on “listening carefully to the group” – therefore the early entry launch, I suppose. I am not solely satisfied by how the sport seems simply but, I believe it will need a bit extra of a hook than multiplayer survival crafting recreation, however it’s RuneScape. The style’s only a bit too saturated lately. I just like the sound of there being quests slightly than simply self-directed play as many video games of its ilk are typically, fingers crossed Jagex leans into {that a} bit to assist Dragonwilds stand out.
