Even the RuneScape spinoff is coming out in September. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S on September 15, 2026. This September has become a major release window for video games, with titles like Marvel’s Wolverine, Control Resonant, and Silent Hill: Townfall all hitting shelves in the same month. The timing is largely due to developers wanting to avoid the shadow of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is scheduled for November. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the first console release in the RuneScape franchise, is now part of this busy lineup.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is not just a new platform release — it’s also the full 1.0 version of the game. The title is already available in early access on PC, but the September release will include the Scorned Wilderness update, as well as all content from the upcoming Umbral Sands expansion, which is set to arrive later this summer. The game is a major shift for the RuneScape IP, offering an open-world, co-op, crafting, and survival experience. This is the first standalone title in Jagex’s long-running medieval MMORPG series, and it has already sold over 1 million copies during its early access phase.

What to Expect in RuneScape: Dragonwilds

RuneScape: Dragonwilds takes players to the unexplored continent of Ashenfall in the world of Gielinor. The game centers around a mysterious, untamed magic that transforms the landscape and challenges players to adapt. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Solo or co-op play with up to four players.
  • Open-world exploration across a vast, dynamic environment.
  • Magic-based combat and spellcasting that extend beyond battle.
  • Crafting and survival mechanics to help players prepare for encounters with dragons and other dangers.
  • A quest to confront the Dragon Queen and uncover the secrets of the land.

As confirmed during the State of Play event, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be a day one launch on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. This means that subscribers will have immediate access to the game upon release.

More September Releases to Watch

The September lineup includes more than just RuneScape: Dragonwilds. At Summer Game Fest 2026, a range of new titles were announced, offering a glimpse into what the video game industry has in store for the fall season. These releases are expected to keep players engaged and excited well into the holiday season. With so many high-profile games launching this month, it’s clear that September 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated release periods in recent memory.
