Dragonkin: The Banished A New Era Begins with Demo and Extensive Update Plans

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. You'll also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions who fight alongside you – and explore the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system, endgame hunting quests, and initial upgrades for the central hub city. The demo is available now until March 3, 2025, as part of the Steam Next Fest.

The developers have exciting 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 multiplayer support, along with continued refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.

In Dragonkin: The Banished, players journey through a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, guiding a legendary warrior to defeat monstrous creatures rising from the earth and confront the mighty Dragonlords behind the chaos. Character progression is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, while the strategic Bloodline Grid system lets you customize your abilities.

Dragonkin: The Banished enters Steam Early Access on March 6, 2025, with a full release planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
