Graph's most visible work in this run of coverage is publishing RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the Jagex survival craft spin-off, in Japan. The company released the Umbral Desert update with developer Jagex on June 23, calling it the final major expansion before full release and adding official Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean support. Two months later, Graph and Jagex confirmed a September 15 launch date for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox Game Pass support from day one and cross-play. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is described as the RuneScape series' first console release, and it had sold over one million copies in Steam Early Access before launch.
By September 10, Graph was preparing the Japanese market push that follows: a playable demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. Because the show opens two days after release, attendees play the finished version. Demo players get an original clear file, and public-day visitors can win an original umbrella marker at a guaranteed-win garapon lottery.
That is the throughline: Graph's role is domestic publishing and promotion in Japan, and the campaign moves from a pre-launch content update in June to a launch-day release window in August to a post-release demo push at TGS in September. The stories establish the release platforms, the Game Pass day-one support, and the sales milestone. They do not detail Graph's other output, its staff, or any other publishing plans.
