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 3rd, 2025, as part of Steam Next Fest, showcases the prologue and first chapter. Players can choose from three distinct heroes—Knight, Oracle, and Barbarian—each accompanied by four Vermplings (cooperative companions). The demo also features 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 introduce new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will bring a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. Autumn's update is a major one, adding multiplayer functionality alongside continued refinements 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 powerful Dragonlords behind the chaos. 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 officially launches on Steam Early Access March 6th, 2025, with a full release planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
