Eko Software and Nacon left the hack-and-slash action RPG in Early Access for just over a year.

During this time, they held valuable discussions with fans of the genre. Building on this feedback, the game has been enhanced with a new character, new combat zones, and numerous improvements. While players can already venture through the first chapter, version 1.0 will offer much more extensive content, including four chapters to discover, varied biomes, and many types of enemies.

Starting now, players can explore a vast, corrupted world through the main story and endgame content and choose from four unique heroes. Each hero is supported by a dragon companion that offers passive bonuses and powerful active skills. Customization is at the heart of the experience, thanks to the Ancestral Grid, a unique progression mechanic. Like a puzzle, it allows players to arrange their skills to create devastating synergies and optimize their playstyle against hordes of enemies.

In Dragonkin: The Banished, players embody one of three dragon hunters, whose objective is to free humanity from invading draconic forces. The game offers deep theorycrafting through various character enhancement mechanics to meet this challenge, giving enthusiasts endless build possibilities. Players develop their hero’s abilities through the Ancestral Grid, a unique skill system that allows them to associate fragments obtained during their adventure. They also benefit from the City of Montescail, a true hub that allows them to implement their strategy thanks to its numerous services. Accompanied by their faithful dragonling, players discover an intriguing story, as well as an endgame rich with activities, including epic battles.

Dragonkin: The Banished has been available on PC via early access since March 6, 2025. It will leave early access on March 19 of this year when Nacon releases it on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. This means that the game, developed by Eko Software, has been in early access for just over a year, which seems like a fair and reasonable approach.
