Evaluation
Dragonkin: The Banished launched into full 1.0 release on March 16, 2026 after approximately one year in Early Access. Since launch, the developer has maintained an active update cadence with substantive new content.
The first major post-1.0 update shipped on July 27, 2026, adding crossplay with console players, a new endgame activity (Dracomundus Purgatory), the first unique weapons (Ravenous Weapons), a city transfer feature, and the War Ancestors Pack cosmetic DLC. In that same post, the developer teased a new playable character with a silhouette image.
On August 13, 2026, the developer formally revealed that character: the Harrower, a fifth playable class. The announcement confirmed the Harrower is scheduled to arrive in a new update later in Fall 2026. On September 10, 2026, the developer published the first of what appears to be a series of skill showcase posts for the Harrower, revealing three of his active abilities and noting that "a future devblog" will cover additional details — indicating communication about this update is ongoing. The August 13 post also notes that "a few things" beyond the Harrower are coming alongside the Fall update.
The developer has been explicit since April 23, 2026 that development is continuing and that the game will receive free updates and paid cosmetic DLCs — not a live-service model, but a series of meaningful, self-contained additions. All of this points clearly to an upcoming update with a named new character and additional content already confirmed and in active development.
