Dragonkin: The Banished lands on PS5 March 19, 2026

Nacon and Eko Software have set a release date for their upcoming action RPG, Dragonkin: The Banished. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on March 19, 2026. A new trailer also details early access for a special edition and exclusive pre-order bonuses for PS5 players.

The trailer, which clocks in at just over a minute, gives players a glimpse into the world of Dragonkin: The Banished. We see top-down combat featuring flashy spells and abilities, suggesting a fast-paced ARPG experience. The environments appear varied, from lush forests to desolate ruins, hinting at a sprawling world to explore. The game carries a 'Teen' rating from the ESRB, citing Violence and Blood.

For those eager to jump into the action, the 'Blood Scales Edition' will grant early access starting March 16, 2026, three days before the official launch. Pre-ordering the game on PlayStation 5 will also net players some exclusive cosmetic items. These include a cosmetic pack for the city of Montescail, four distinct portal effects, and four sets of armor.

Developed by Eko Software and published by Nacon, Dragonkin: The Banished aims to deliver a robust ARPG experience. While the trailer focuses heavily on the PS5 version, it's worth checking Nacon's official channels for any potential multiplatform releases or announcements. The game's focus on distinct character classes, as shown in the trailer, suggests a degree of player choice and replayability.

For those that get the early-access edition, you get a few extras. The cosmetic pack for Montescail, portal effects, and armor sets offer visual flair for players who commit to the game before its release. It remains to be seen if these bonuses will be available post-launch or if they are strictly time-limited.

With a release date now firmly set for March 19, 2026, players have a clear target for when they can expect to dive into the dragon-slaying action on their PS5s. The 'Blood Scales Edition' offers a slight head start for those who want to be among the first to experience Dragonkin: The Banished.
