Eko Software and NACON have announced their upcoming Hack’N’Slash game, Dragonkin: The Banished, a thrilling entry that invites players into a deeply corrupted world influenced by ancient dragons. Known for their immersive game design, Eko Software is setting the stage for players to dive into a world where they must battle monstrous hybrid creatures throughout various uncanny environments.
Players will journey through unique locales such as the Swamps of Ja’Ksara, where murky waters and formidable foes await, and the verdant yet perilous Jungle of Kalah. Additionally, the Old World Archipelago offers a mix of intriguing landscapes and mythologies, expanding the possibilities of exploration and adventure in this enthralling universe.
The City of Montescail stands as humanity’s final stronghold, a sanctuary amidst chaos, and the central hub for hero development. Within this city, players can enhance their characters using various services offered by the thriving urban environment. As players progress, they will earn Prosperity points, allowing them to fund city improvements and usher new merchants and crafts into the realm. This dynamic system ensures that the City of Montescail grows and evolves, facilitating strategic upgrades that reflect the player’s journey and accomplishments.
One of the standout features of Dragonkin: The Banished is its evolving city. As heroes rise, the city rebuilds and adapts, offering new opportunities to enrich the player’s experience through upgrades and crafts that directly impact their ability to withstand the game’s challenges. Such progress is paramount as players will need all the resources they can muster to face off against increasingly difficult enemies.
Excitingly, Dragonkin: The Banished will enter Early Access on Steam starting March 6, 2025. During this phase, players will have the chance to dive into the game’s lore and experience its rich environments and dungeons. The development team has promised more areas and content to be introduced throughout Early Access, helping to further immerse players in the game’s mythology and bestiary.
Beyond the solitary experience, Dragonkin: The Banished plans to enhance its engagement by enabling online multiplayer during Early Access, allowing players’ friends to join their cities and strategize together. This cooperative element is sure to bring a new dimension to conquering the dark forces that lay siege to the game’s world.
Fans and players alike can expect a console release following the final launch, broadening access to what promises to be an epic journey filled with challenges and mysteries. Stay tuned to Steam for more information as we approach the Early Access release date.
