In Dragonkin: The Banished players explore a world corrupted by dragon blood, where they battle monstrous creatures and colossal dragons to return its lands to humanity. Four legendary heroes*, each a master of an element, stand against the darkness with unique abilities and combat techniques. Players can choose their character according to their preferred play style, and build up their power using a unique skill system, the Ancestral Grid. A loyal dragonet accompanies them on their quest, bringing its own attributes and abilities.

 

Learn more about the three playable characters in early access:

  • Lothair de Montdragon is a knight of the Order of the Eternal. His sole aim is to free humanity from draconic corruption. He has wielded a spear from an early age, making him a formidable defensive fighter. Fire is his element- his perfect mastery of it enables him to reduce any enemy he encounters to ashes.

 
  • Electrane, an apprentice Oracle, shares a special connection with dragonets and Dragonbloods.  As a fierce magician with draconic and electrical abilities, she uses her destructive spells to defeat her rivals from a distance.

 
  • Rurik Haraldson is one of the finest warriors in the Nordic lands. He survived the ingestion of White Dragon blood, the initiation rite of the barbarians, which granted him superhuman strength and ice powers. An aggressive melee fighter, his enemies fear his axe and hammer.

 

Dragonkin: The Banished will be available in early access on Steam from 6 March 2025 and on consoles at its final release.
