Hack-and-slash fans can mark their calendars for March 6, 2025, as Eko Software’s new title, Dragonkin: The Banished, will be launching in Early Access on Steam. Developed by the French studio behind titles like the How to Survive series and Warhammer Chaosbane, Dragonkin: The Banished promises a fresh take on the genre with its unique Ancestral Grid skill system and emphasis on co-op gameplay.

A Dragon-Dominated World
Set in a world ruled by dragons, Dragonkin: The Banished tasks players with choosing from four distinct heroes, each boasting their own abilities and combat styles. Players can explore diverse environments, each teeming with unique monsters, resources, and challenges. Progression is handled through the Ancestral Grid, a distinctive skill system where players strategically place Fragments earned during gameplay to build personalized skill trees. This mechanic encourages experimentation and allows for highly customized character builds.
The City: A Hub of Activity
Beyond combat, Dragonkin: The Banished features The City, serving as humanity’s last stronghold. This evolving hub offers opportunities to upgrade equipment, interact with NPCs who offer unique abilities, and personalize the game experience through visual customization options.
Endgame Content and Beyond
Dragonkin: The Banished aims to provide extended playtime even after completing the main story. Endgame content unlocks new modes, challenging bosses, and intense battles designed to keep players engaged for hours on end. Eko Software plans to continuously add to the endgame content throughout the Early Access period, leading up to the game’s final release.
Early Access and Console Release
Dragonkin: The Banished will be available in Early Access on Steam starting March 6, 2025. A console release is planned for the full launch of the game.
