Dragonkin: Banished Relaunch Announced with Demo and Updates

Eko Software and NACON have released a demo and detailed roadmap for their action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished, currently in Steam Early Access. The demo, available until March 3, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest, features the prologue and first chapter. Players can choose from three unique heroes – Knight, Oracle, and Barbarian – each accompanied by four Vermplings (cooperative companions). The demo also showcases the innovative Bloodline Grid skill system, endgame hunts, and initial hub city upgrades.

The developers have a packed schedule for the early access period. Spring updates will bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will introduce a new hero, additional skills, and more challenging endgame encounters. Autumn's update is a significant one, introducing multiplayer functionality alongside ongoing improvements 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 options of the Bloodline Grid.

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.
