From Press Release:
Lesquin, France, February 10, 2026 – The draconic power is more pressing than ever! NACON and Eko Software invite players to prepare for battle starting today with the opening of pre-orders for Dragonkin: The Banished. The game will be released in its final version on March 19, 2026, on PC and consoles.
The early access period was filled with valuable discussions with fans of the genre. Building on this feedback, the game has already been enhanced with a new character, new combat zones, and numerous improvements. While players can already venture through the first chapter, version 1.0 promises much more extensive content, including 4 chapters to discover, varied biomes, and many types of enemies.
Starting now, players can explore a vast and corrupted world in the main story, its endgame content, and choose from four unique heroes. Each is supported by a dragon companion, a strategic partner offering 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.
