It was officially announced during State of Play earlier this week, and now we have a release date: iconic RPG series RuneScape will make its console debut on the PS5 with survival game Dragonwilds on 15th September.
As previously reported, the game will be available day one as part of the PS Plus Extra catalogue, so members will be able to play the game in its entirety as part of their subscription.
While the game has been available in Early Access on PC for some time, this marks the v1.0 release of the title.

The press release reveals:
“RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open-world, co-op, crafting and survival game, and the first standalone title to join Jagex’s iconic medieval MMORPG franchise, selling over one million copies during its early access period. Players embark solo or in teams of four across Gielinor’s previously unexplored continent of Ashenfall, on an epic quest to discover why untamed, transformative magic spills across the fractured land.
Through the power of magic that flows through the anima-rich landscape, players can not only obtain powerful spells to get them through battles, but find their practical uses as well, as they collect items and craft things to help them throughout their journey. In this land riddled with fierce dragons, players must level up skills, prepare potions, and craft gear, as they carve a path through these ferocious beasts and make their way to the Dragon Queen herself.”
The reception for the aforementioned Early Access release has been generally very positive, so I think this game will be well-received on console. The fact it’s included in PS Plus Extra at launch is, well, a plus.
