Hello everyone,
We have some important news to share regarding the launch of the Multiplayer update.
Over the past few months, we’ve been hard at work adding new content like champions, fixing bugs, and implementing features requested by the community.
We initially aimed to release our major update in December, but the truth is, we’re not quite ready yet. We’ve fallen behind our original schedule for several reasons, and that's why we'll need to delay the multiplayer update.
Although the multiplayer system is functional, we’re facing stability issues that would negatively impact the player experience if released now.
At the same time, by working on improving the core experience and adding new features that weren’t originally planned while still working on the promises in our original roadmap, we created delays.
For example, one area we felt needed to be addressed ASAP and that we absolutely wanted to rework in this update was the Generator Spender system and the City Progression. These two aspects have been a source of frustration for many players for differing reasons, often preventing them from fully engaging with the game or leading them to stop playing.
If you’d like more details on that topic, check our DevBlog:
This delay will also give our team the time needed to thoroughly QA test the build, including both online systems and the new features planned for this update.
We know many are waiting for the Multiplayer Update before jumping into Dragonkin, and we don't want new players to lose interest due to systems that have been a pain point for our Early Access players and that are planned to be changed.
Focusing on multiple aspects of the game, and our desire to address pain points raised by our community has led to the need for this delay.
It’s too early for now to share a precise release date.
That said, rest assured that we aim to release our multiplayer update early 2026. We’ll update you as soon as we’re able to lock in a new release date. We can’t wait to bring you our 3rd major update and ensure it’s worth the wait.
We sincerely apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your understanding.
Stay tuned here or in our Discord for more updates on what's next for Dragonkin: The Banished.
Thank you for your continued support and your patience.
