Eko Software and NACON have exciting news for RPG fans with the launch of a demo and a detailed roadmap for the early access journey of their action-packed RPG, *Dragonkin: The Banished*. The early access version, set to launch on March 6, 2025, will include the prologue and first chapter, giving players a chance to dive into the game's captivating story through three unique heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. Players can expect to engage with four Vermplings—cooperative companions who fight alongside you—and explore the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system, tackle endgame hunting quests, and enjoy initial upgrades for the central hub city. The demo is available now and will run until March 3, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest.
The development team has ambitious plans for the year ahead. Spring updates will introduce new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a fresh endgame activity, and improved features for the hub city. Summer will bring a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, *Dragonkin: The Banished* will roll out multiplayer support, along with ongoing refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.
In *Dragonkin: The Banished*, players will immerse themselves in a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, guiding a legendary warrior on a quest to vanquish sinister creatures emerging from the ground and confront the all-powerful Dragonlords orchestrating the chaos. Progression in the game is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, while the strategic Bloodline Grid system allows players to customize their abilities, enhancing the depth and personalization of the gameplay experience.
Mark your calendars: *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. Get ready to explore this richly detailed world and take on the challenge of the Dragonlords.
