'Drova - Forsaken Kin' Development Roadmap Includes Three Updates Before Moving On To Next Project

by Rainier on Nov. 8, 2024 @ 11:30 a.m. PST

Drova - Forsaken Kin is a handcrafted open world action/RPG filled with adventures and a gritty pixel art look.

Dive through a wall of everlasting fog to discover a society grown from the ashes of a dead empire. Rediscover ancient powers, encounter angry spirits and be a witness as history unfolds.

A society has discovered the power of a dead empire: to capture the spirits that govern nature and rule over them instead. However, the anger of the remaining spirits divided them. Where will you stand?

Journey through dangerous landscapes, fulfill tasks, fight, trade, take a side in a conflict of factions, gather equipment and become strong enough to survive.

You will not find quest markers or minimaps in Drova. Find your own way instead - just like in classic role-playing games. Study your environment and use the surrounding clues to reveal its mysteries.

The game offers a dynamic open world with two factions the player can join - and the world grim, unwelcoming and deadly. Players will become a part of a divided society, grown from the ashes of a dead empire. And it is in their hands how everything will end.


Deck13 Spotlight and Just2D are happy to announce that DROVA  - Forsaken Kin will continue to be receiving some massive updates in the coming weeks and months - all of them being released for free.

While many players are already asking for DLCs and a follow up, the team has decided to support the game with three major updates next with regular patches. 

Feedback Update (November)

This patch is based purely on Community feedback. It includes a map for the cave system below the Remnants Camp, a Legendary Slingshot, the functionality to reset the character via rare items, balancing adjustments and many other things.

Insane Update (December)

While New Game+ would not directly fit into the game, the team is working on a new difficulty mode which will come with new additional attacks for certain enemies, new enemy behavior and generally stronger monsters. And this new mode can also be customized even further.

The Flesh Rises Update (March)

A new challenge arises… 

After all three updates have been released, Just2D will focus on developing their next project. Both developer and publisher have decided to not focus on a DLC for multiple reasons. “We see DROVA as a finished experience” says Christian Sandkämpfer, Co-Founder of Just2D, “We don’t want to come up with an half-assed cashgrab. Instead we’re making sure DROVA lives up to the expectations set by the Community and focus on the next step for our Studio and improve ourselves based on the feedback we got.”

Key Features:

  • Dynamic World: Journey through a handcrafted world, filled with dangers and mysteries and witness the lasting impact your actions will have on your environment.
  • A Divided Society: Become a part of an isolated society, grown from the ashes of a dead empire. Where will you stand when ambitious factions plunge the world into chaos?
  • The Spirits of Nature: Explore nature and encounter the spirits that rule it. Seal them and learn to use their power for yourself. But be prepared for the consequences of their anger to change the world surrounding you.
  • Numerous Abilities: Meet teachers and learn numerous abilities and talents. But remember: everything comes with a price.
  • To Be or Not to Be?: You decide how to deal with defeated enemies. Whether you kill them or spare them, it’s your decision. Each will have their own consequences.
  • The Flow of Battle: Use the flow of battle to unleash powerful abilities. But be careful: only your flow stands between you and death.
  • Free Navigation: Nobody is going to hold your hand. Paying attention to your environment and making good use of your knowledge will help you find the way.
  • From Zero to Hero: Start your journey with nothing. Earn your weapons, discover abilities, and talents. Find the fighting style that fits you best and become a master at it.
  • Influential Factions: Join one of two factions, each with their own values and in pursuit of their own goals. Your choice will be relevant for the rest of the game and impact the entire story. Where will you stand?

Drova - Forsaken Kin is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
