Eko Software and NACON have released a demo and detailed roadmap for their action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished, currently in Steam Early Access. This early access version features the prologue and first chapter, allowing players to experience the story through three distinct heroes: the Knight, the Oracle, and the Barbarian. Players will also encounter four Vermplings – cooperative companions – and utilize the innovative Bloodline Grid skill system. Endgame hunting quests and initial hub city upgrades are also included. The demo is available now until March 3, 2025, as part of the Steam Next Fest.

The developers have a robust roadmap for the coming year. Spring updates will bring new abilities, enhanced endgame content, a new endgame activity, and improved hub city features. Summer will see the addition of a new hero, more skills, and expanded endgame challenges. By autumn, multiplayer support will be implemented, 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 formidable Dragonlords responsible for the chaos. Character progression relies on character growth, equipment upgrades, and Vermpling evolution, all enhanced by the strategic customization options of the Bloodline Grid.

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.
