In a world ravaged by dragons, play as four heroes, solo or multiplayer, and fight hordes of enemies, adapt your build with the unique Ancestral Grid system, improve your city, and share it with your friends.

In Dragonkin: The Banished, you wander a world where powerful dragons have ravaged the land and caused evil creatures to appear. You play as four hero classes and set out to hunt and fight the most vile monsters. Every defeated enemy is one step closer to your ultimate goal: find and eliminate the four Ancestral Dragons.

After consuming Dragon blood, the heroes have acquired their own skills, unique powers and combat techniques. Based on your loot, chosen build and preferences, your powers and attack strength are transformed.

Eko Software and NACON unveil the corrupted world of Dragonkin: The Banished, introducing players to the various environments in this new Hack'N'Slash. In the heart of these hostile lands, one last city stands firm, humanity's final sanctuary: the City of Montescail. Much more than just an environment, this evolving city is a hub for players, who can develop their heroes through a variety of services.

In the Dragonkin universe, desolation and draconic corruption reign over what were once human lands. Powerful Dragons exert their influence through monstrous hybrid creatures, which players must confront.

Several environments will be available to players upon the game’s launch into Early Access. In the heart of the Swamps of Ja'Ksara and the Jungle of Kalah, plagued by the green Dragon's blood, player will face their enemies' poison. On the beaches of the Old World Archipelago, cradle of the Oracles, they will encounter creatures with destructive electrical powers inherited from the blood of the Blue Dragon, and plunge into the discovery of Delphaipolis, the fallen capital of the Oracles. Various underground locations and dungeons invaded by fearsome adversaries are also waiting to be discovered in the endgame. Throughout the early access period, their hunt will lead players through new environments, enabling them to discover Dragonkin's fantastic mythology and bestiary.

Nestled behind steep walls, the City of Montescail is humanity's last bastion. Here, players find merchants and warehouses where they can trade rewards, craft weapons, armor and more. In this evolving area, players can upgrade the level of the City using the Prosperity earned during their progression. As they do so, they see the city rebuilt and new merchants arrive, offering their own unique upgrades and crafts. Players will be able to develop a real strategy and prioritize certain upgrades according to their build objectives.

The services and bonuses unlocked in the player's City are available to all characters in the city, including those of his friends when they join his City once online multiplayer becomes available during Early Access. The City of Montescail is therefore an essential location, contributing to character itemization.

Dragonkin: The Banished is coming to Steam Early Access on March 6, 2025 and will remain so for 7 to 10 months.

Four Heroes To Choose From:

• The Barbarian: As leader of the armies of the Northern people who live in hostile lands, the Barbarian's element is ice. Take hits like a true barbarian, freeze your enemies and deal huge melee damage with a devastating axe and hammer. The more damage you take, the more powerful your attacks.
• The Witch: Transformed by Dragon blood, the Witch dreams of a world in which dragons and humans can live together. The Witch's powers are based on the elements of electricity and water. With the Witch, you'll want to stand back to charge your spells and deal damage from range rather than getting too close to enemies.
• The Knight: Tutored and trained by the finest warriors since childhood, the Knight wields fire like no other. With the Knight, you have the ideal balance between melee and ranged attacks thanks to your formidable lance, which also spits out flames.
• The Archer: The personification of composure, the Archer boasts outstanding skill and can expertly manipulate the element of poison. If the arrow doesn't kill the target outright, the victim will usually succumb shortly after. Ideal for ranged combat, with the Archer you can also create a poisonous area around you to become unreachable.

The Ancestral Grid is an innovative mechanic to level up your character and make them a unique fighter. Each time you gain more power, you decide how to combine your upgrades to fill up the Ancestral Grid in the best way possible. Select from the abilities available and try out multiple combinations to optimize your hero. Based on your progress in the adventure and your preferences, you can also change your build whenever you want to adapt to new enemies. Each hero has their own Ancestral Grid and a wide range of possible combinations. Your hero will never be the same from one game to the next.

Travel across the world of Dragonkin, learn its story and confront whatever is threatening it. Volcanoes, tundra, swamps and many other environments: as you hunt you will discover everything the world has to offer. Each biome has its own regions, endemic monsters and specific resources.

Your city grows and changes based on your decisions and discoveries. During your adventure, gain experience and decide which area of its development to focus on. Upgrade your buildings and find new inhabitants, equipment and additional services. The co-op adventure goes beyond completing quests. All players in your session can expand the city and unlock new content.

An adventure to enjoy from start to finish with friends. Dragonkin can be played in local co-op with two players or online with up to four players (will be implemented in the final version of the game). You can also share your adventure with warriors you have never met before by joining their games.

Dragonkin: The Banished is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in late 2025.
