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. Players will also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions who aid in combat – and utilize the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system. Endgame hunting quests and initial hub city upgrades are also included. The demo is available now until March 3, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest.
The developers have ambitious plans for the coming year. 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 expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, multiplayer support will be implemented, alongside ongoing refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.
In Dragonkin: The Banished, players explore a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, guiding a legendary warrior to defeat monstrous creatures and confront the powerful Dragonlords behind the chaos. Character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution are key progression elements, while the strategic Bloodline Grid system allows for deep character customization.
Dragonkin: The Banished launches in Steam Early Access on March 6, 2025, with a full release planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
