By autumn, *Dragonkin: The Banished* will support multiplayer, allowing players to join forces in their quest. Ongoing refinements to the Bloodline Grid and hub city mechanics will continue to evolve the game throughout its early access journey.
In *Dragonkin: The Banished*, players will explore a world tainted by ancient dragon blood, guiding a legendary warrior on a mission to defeat sinister creatures and confront the all-powerful Dragonlords causing the chaos.
