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

Eko Software and NACON unveil a demo and detailed roadmap for their action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished, entering Steam Early Access. The early access launch includes the prologue and first chapter, playable with three distinct heroes: Knight, Oracle, and Barbarian. Players will also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions – and experience the innovative Bloodline Grid skill system, endgame hunts, and initial hub city upgrades. A demo is available now through March 3rd, 2025, as part of the Steam Next Fest.

The developers have ambitious post-launch plans. Spring updates will add new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will bring a new hero, more skills, and expanded endgame challenges. Autumn's update is a significant one, introducing multiplayer functionality alongside continued refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city.

Dragonkin: The Banished plunges players into a world tainted by ancient dragon blood. Players guide a legendary warrior, battling monstrous creatures and confronting the Dragonlords responsible for the chaos. Character progression is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, all enhanced by the strategic customization of the Bloodline Grid.

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