Eko Software and NACON have unveiled an exciting demo and a detailed roadmap for the early access phase of their action-packed RPG, *Dragonkin: The Banished*. The early access version, launching on Steam on March 6, 2025, will include the prologue and first chapter. Players can dive into the rich narrative through the perspectives of three distinct heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. This version also introduces four Vermplings—cooperative companions that join the fight—and the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system. Players will also have access to endgame hunting quests and initial upgrades for the central hub city. The demo is currently available and will run until March 3, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest.
Looking ahead, the development team has ambitious plans for the year. Spring updates will bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. As summer rolls in, players can expect the introduction of a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, *Dragonkin: The Banished* will implement multiplayer support, alongside continuous refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.
In *Dragonkin: The Banished*, players are immersed in a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, embarking on a quest with a legendary warrior to defeat sinister creatures emerging from the earth and confront the powerful Dragonlords causing the chaos. Progression in the game is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, while the strategic Bloodline Grid system empowers players to tailor their abilities to their preferred playstyle.
*Dragonkin: The Banished* will launch in Steam Early Access on March 6, 2025, with a full release planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Dive into this epic adventure and shape the fate of a world under siege.
