Dragonkin: New Era Dawns with Demo & Updates

Eko Software and NACON have released a demo and detailed roadmap for the early access launch of their action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished. This early access version includes the prologue and first chapter, letting players experience the story through three unique heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. You'll also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions who fight alongside you – and explore the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system, endgame hunting quests, and initial upgrades to the central hub city. The demo is available now until March 3, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest.

The developers have exciting plans for the coming year. Spring updates will bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a brand-new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will introduce a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, multiplayer support will arrive, alongside continued refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.

In Dragonkin: The Banished, players journey through a world corrupted by ancient dragon blood. Guide a legendary warrior to vanquish monstrous creatures rising from the earth and confront the mighty Dragonlords behind the chaos. Character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution power your progression, while the strategic Bloodline Grid lets you customize your abilities.

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.
