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 experience the unique Vermpling companions, the Bloodline Grid skill system, endgame hunts, and initial hub city upgrades. A demo is available on Steam Next Fest until March 3, 2025.
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 slated to introduce multiplayer functionality, alongside continued refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city.
Dragonkin: The Banished casts players into a world tainted by ancient dragon blood. Players guide a legendary warrior, battling monstrous creatures and confronting powerful Dragonlords. Character progression is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, all enhanced by the strategic Bloodline Grid system for ability 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.
