LIBERATE A RAVAGED WORLD:​

In Dragonkin: The Banished, you wander a world where powerful dragons have ravaged the land and caused evil creatures to appear. You play as four hero classes and set out to hunt and fight the most vile monsters. Every defeated enemy is one step closer to your ultimate goal: find and eliminate the four Ancestral Dragons.

FOUR HEROES READY TO HUNT:​

After consuming Dragon blood, the heroes have acquired their own skills, unique powers and combat techniques. Based on your loot, chosen build and preferences, your powers and attack strength are transformed.

• The Barbarian: As leader of the armies of the Northern people who live in hostile lands, the Barbarian's element is ice. Take hits like a true barbarian, freeze your enemies and deal huge melee damage with a devastating axe and hammer. The more damage you take, the more powerful your attacks.

• The Witch: Transformed by Dragon blood, the Witch dreams of a world in which dragons and humans can live together. The Witch's powers are based on the elements of electricity and water. With the Witch, you'll want to stand back to charge your spells and deal damage from range rather than getting too close to enemies.

• The Knight: Tutored and trained by the finest warriors since childhood, the Knight wields fire like no other. With the Knight, you have the ideal balance between melee and ranged attacks thanks to your formidable lance, which also spits out flames.

• The Archer: The personification of composure, the Archer boasts outstanding skill and can expertly manipulate the element of poison. If the arrow doesn't kill the target outright, the victim will usually succumb shortly after. Ideal for ranged combat, with the Archer you can also create a poisonous area around you to become unreachable.

A NEW WAY TO BUILD YOUR HERO​

The Ancestral Grid is an innovative mechanic to level up your character and make them a unique fighter. Each time you gain more power, you decide how to combine your upgrades to fill up the Ancestral Grid in the best way possible. Select from the abilities available and try out multiple combinations to optimize your hero. Based on your progress in the adventure and your preferences, you can also change your build whenever you want to adapt to new enemies. Each hero has their own Ancestral Grid and a wide range of possible combinations. Your hero will never be the same from one game to the next.

A WORLD TO EXPLORE​

Travel across the world of Dragonkin, learn its story and confront whatever is threatening it. Volcanoes, tundra, swamps and many other environments: as you hunt you will discover everything the world has to offer. Each biome has its own regions, endemic monsters and specific resources.

A CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING CITY​

Your city grows and changes based on your decisions and discoveries. During your adventure, gain experience and decide which area of its development to focus on. Upgrade your buildings and find new inhabitants, equipment and additional services. The co-op adventure goes beyond completing quests. All players in your session can expand the city and unlock new content.

HUNTING AS A TEAM​

An adventure to enjoy from start to finish with friends. Dragonkin can be played in local co-op with two players or online with up to four players. You can also share your adventure with warriors you have never met before by joining their games.

Welcome to Ja'Ksara - Dragonkin: The Banished Dev Blog
Hello Hunters!

In this blog, we want to give you an exclusive first look into the world of Dragonkin: The Banished. As you may know from our class blog, Dragon Blood can have various effects, granting immense power, but often at a deep cost.

For you to better understand the insidious nature of the blood seeping into the world itself, we’ll walk you through two areas within one of the biome’s you’ll step into, a place twisted and tainted by Green Dragon Blood: the Jungle and the Swamps of Ja'Ksara.

Let’s dive in!


The Swamps of Ja'Ksara


This treacherous land is home to the Toxic Dragons, whose blood has had a disturbing, corrupting effect on everything it touches. From the wildlife to the vegetation, the swamp is a twisted reflection of the Green Dragon’s power.

As you venture through the swamp, you’ll come across Batrachians that release deadly toxins when threatened, monstrous Moths that unleash swarms of insects ready to overwhelm you, Leeches (oh god, the leeches!) and Shamans that wield the electrical powers of the Blue Dragon, just to name a few.

After all, who truly knows what else may lurk beneath these muddied waters…

Nestled within the towering treetops, you’ll discover a cult village, here the tainted waters have even begun to affect the locals.

Meet the Monstrous Swarm

Without a doubt you’ll meet the Monstrous Swarm, a moth-like (and terrifying creature) that has been completely transformed by Green Dragon blood. Characterized by it’s enormous mouth, it can summon Dragonflies, tiny but deadly insects, ready to sting on sight.

The Jungle of Ja'Ksara

While the Jungle may appear peaceful, especially at night, these decayed ruins are far from deserted. Corrupted creatures wander, hostile to those who dare venture too close to their homes. And as you journey deeper, the Jungle itself will threaten your progress, as if *something* doesn't want you to reach its core.

Despite the Jungle being viciously dangerous and inhospitable, the serene sight of waterfalls reminds us of the world the warriors are trying to protect as you uncover the mysteries hidden under the roots.

Meet the Rampant Corruption

It’s here in the Jungle that you'll cross paths with this unnatural rampant tree-like creature animated by the Blood of the Green Dragon.
