Apr 26, 2025
And it's only been in early access for two weeks
Less than two weeks into its early access run, co-op survival spin-off RuneScape: Dragonwilds is already off to a wicked start.
Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy shared some stats about the new game set in the same world as evergreen MMO RuneScape, of course, over on LinkedIn. The game has climbed to the top of Steam's best-seller charts, having sold over 600,000 copies in the short period of time, and amassed more than 13,755 user reviews on the platform, 85% of which give it the thumbs up.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds now enjoys a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with lots of players praising its heavier combat and cool base-building, while positively comparing it to fellow survival hit Valheim - this time with more RPG juice to soak in.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds was also the third most-watched game on streaming platform Twitch and most players' sessions lasted more than two hours on average.
"The response from players, the RuneScape community, and the industry so far has exceeded even our most hopeful expectations," Bellamy wrote. "And it's reminded me just how much games - and the people behind them - can still surprise, and inspire us in the most unexpected ways. It's the alchemy of this industry. While the numbers are incredible, what I'm most proud of is the team behind them... Your creativity and commitment are fingerprints covering every part of this game."
