“We’ll be updating the game with new features and content, throughout the early access, while getting the feedback from the community to give an incredible open-world survival crafting game.”

Jagex stated that the game first began testing in 2024, and the team had several months to get feedback. Players’ involvement plays the pivotal role in reflecting that Jagex is committed to community-driven growth.
