Dragonkin: The Banished players can continue progressing long after the story has been completed thanks to Eko Software and Nacon's emphasis on endgame content. Completing the story can be done at any character level too, as Eko Software does not want to force players to keep playing the same content repeatedly.

New areas can be accessed, new missions will be available to complete, and new ways of customizing and improving gear will be unlocked. To learn more about the endgame content in Dragonkin: The Banished, Game Rant spoke with Jean-Georges Levieux, the Production Director at Eko Software.

Dragonkin: The Banished’s Endgame Content Explained

Endgame Hunt Missions

Levieux believes in the importance of respecting a player's time, especially when it comes to the End Game mode. This is unlocked once players finish the story and allows them to participate in Hunts, create their own Hunts, and otherwise enjoy the various endgame content available in Dragonkin: The Banished. As Levieux explained,

“The endgame revolves around a Hunting Board, where you have predefined missions to complete. However, before long, you’ll be able to create your own Hunts, customizing various parameters to focus on the activities you enjoy the most. You’ll be able to adjust factors like duration, environment type, rewards, and activities. However, the more specific your choices are, the more random debuffs you’ll have to counter during your Hunt.”

The ability to create Hunts and endgame content themselves gives players almost limitless options at this point in their playthroughs. Meanwhile, the debuffs also scale up the difficulty to challenge players as any endgame content should do. Not only does this make it fun to engage with and play Dragonkin: The Banished, but it is also a great way to unlock rewards that can dramatically enhance gear and armor.

New Areas to Explore

Story choices matter and even have a big impact on endgame content, giving Dragonkin: The Banished players some new areas to explore. These come in the form of predetermined locations on the map, some of which have been altered by story choices, as well as procedurally generated areas. According to Levieux,

“Once you reach End Game mode, you will explore procedural levels much more often, but also, depending on your choices, return to story mode locations, where you will possibly discover areas you hadn't visited before.”

Between new Hunts and new areas to explore, it's clear that Dragonkin: The Banished's endgame content has received a lot of attention. That's not all either, as players have a hub that they will level up throughout the game. When they get to End Game mode, a new shop known as the Ornamentalist will open and allow players to optimize their gear, giving them the all-needed loot chase as they explore new areas and participate in Hunts.

LIBERATE A RAVAGED WORLD!
In Dragonkin: The Banished, you wander a world corrupted by the blood of dragons that have caused evil creatures to appear. You play as one of four hero classes and set out to hunt and fight draconic monsters. Every enemy is one step closer to your ultimate goal: find and eliminate the Dragon Lords.

FOUR HEROES READY TO HUNT
All the heroes have developed their own skills and combat techniques to fight the dragons. As you progress through the game, you can develop and improve your character, equipment, wyrmling and Ancestral Grid.
• (The Barbarian) The Ice Warrior: Like his father before him, he survived ingesting white dragon blood and acquired powers of ice without losing his humanity. He takes hits like a true barbarian, freezes his enemies and deals huge melee damage with his devastating axe and hammer. The more damage he takes, the more powerful his attacks.

• (The Witch) The Draconic Oracle: Transformed by blood of the blue dragon, she dreams of a world in which dragons and humans can live together. She uses her electric draconic powers to keep enemies at a distance. The Witch often stays away from the melee where she can charge her spells and deal damage from range.

• (The Knight) The Soldier of the Order: Trained in combat since childhood, he is a master of the fire lance and shield. He can resist all draconic corruption thanks to his determination and faith in the Eternal. He is the ideal balance between melee and ranged attacks thanks to his formidable lance, which also spits out flames.

• (The Archer) The Tracker Archer: As the best hunter in her clan, she boasts outstanding skill. Her arsenal includes arrows, daggers, traps and draconic toxic substances. Ideal for ranged combat, she can also create a poisonous area around her to become unreachable.

A VAST RANGE OF BUILDS WITH THE ANCESTRAL GRID
The Ancestral Grid is an innovative mechanic to level up your character and make them a unique fighter. Acquire abilities as combat loot, and place them in the grid next to a wide range of modifiers. Optimize the placement of these elements to define your fighting style and become more powerful. Each hero has their own grid and endless combinations of abilities and modifiers.

A WORLD TO EXPLORE
Fight draconic monsters and learn its story by travelling across the world of Dragonkin.
Volcanic lands, frozen plains, ancient islands, toxic swamps and many other environments. As you hunt you will discover everything the world has to offer. Each region has its own culture, monsters and resources.

A CITY TO DEVELOP DURING YOUR ADVENTURE
In the heart of the mountains, sheltered from dragons and their voices, lies a huge city and bastion of humanity.
This city grows and changes based on your decisions and discoveries. As you progress, decide which area of its development to focus on. Upgrade your buildings and find new inhabitants, equipment and additional services, on your own or with other players. All the heroes in your city can be involved in its development and can unlock new content.

HUNTING AS A TEAM
Embark on the adventure in local co-op with two players or online with up to four players. You can prolong your game experience by connecting to other players' games and by unlocking random dragon hunts once the story has been completed.
