Eko Software and NACON have exciting news for RPG fans with the launch of a demo and a detailed roadmap for the early access phase of their action-packed RPG, *Dragonkin: The Banished*. The early access version, set to launch on March 6, 2025, will feature the prologue and first chapter, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game's narrative through three unique heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. Players will also have the opportunity to team up with four Vermplings, cooperative companions that enhance the gameplay experience. The game introduces the innovative Bloodline Grid skill progression system, endgame hunting quests, and initial upgrades for the central hub city. The demo is currently available 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 bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved features for the hub city. Summer updates will introduce a new hero, additional skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, *Dragonkin: The Banished* will implement multiplayer support, alongside ongoing refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics.
In *Dragonkin: The Banished*, players will explore a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, guiding a legendary warrior on a quest to defeat sinister creatures emerging from the ground and confront the all-powerful Dragonlords behind the chaos. Progression is driven by character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, with the strategic Bloodline Grid system allowing players to customize their abilities to suit their playstyle.
*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. This roadmap promises a rich and evolving experience for players eager to dive into this dark fantasy world.
