Eko Software and NACON have released a demo and detailed roadmap for the early access launch of their action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished. This early access version includes the prologue and first chapter, letting players experience the story through three unique heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. Players will also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions who join the fight – and utilize the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system. The demo also features endgame hunting quests and initial upgrades for the central hub city. This demo is available now until March 3, 2025, as part of the Steam Next Fest.
The developers have ambitious plans for the coming year. Spring updates will bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a brand-new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will introduce a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, expect the addition of multiplayer support, alongside continued refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.
In Dragonkin: The Banished, players explore a world corrupted by ancient dragon blood. Guide a legendary warrior on a quest to defeat monstrous creatures rising from the earth and confront the powerful Dragonlords behind the chaos. Character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution are key to progression, while the strategic Bloodline Grid system allows for extensive character customization.
Dragonkin: The Banished launches on Steam Early Access March 6, 2025, with a full release planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
