Dragonkin: The Banished Welcomes the Harrower, Survival Mode

NACON and Eko Software released a new free update for hack-and-slash action RPG Dragonkin: The Banished. The update adds a new playable character, the Harrower, as well as a new Survival mode. The Harrower is built around its innate Instability skill; rather than being tied to an element, it can equip up to ten Wyvern skills of any type. Triggering their powers cause elements to become unstable, allowing it to enter an Unleashed state when all four elements become unstable. Meanwhile, the Survival mode offers a permadeath challenge with the same town progression as regular characters, but its own separate ecosystem with strict gear-sharing rules. The update also includes six new modifiers for the Ancestral Grid, two of which are exclusive to the Harrower. Full patch notes are available here.

Dragonkin: The Banished released this March on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is set in a world corrupted by the blood of dragons. Players control a legendary hero who hunts down evil creatures that rise from the earth, eventually aiming to eliminate the Dragon Lords at the centre of things. As players progress, their character, equipment, and wyrmling companion will evolve. The Ancestral Grid allows players to obtain skills and place them in the grid to gain modifiers.
