If you have been craving intense, dragon-slaying hack-and-slash action, NACON and developer EKO Software have given you the ultimate reason to pick up your blades. Following its release in March 2026, Dragonkin: The Banished has captivated dark fantasy ARPG fans—and now, the game is getting a game-changing expansion.

NACON has officially released Dracomundus Purgatory, a massive free update available now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Whether you’re a seasoned endgame hunter or a newcomer stepping into the dragon-corrupted world for the first time, this update brings massive quality-of-life enhancements, endless replayability, and new ways to team up with friends.

Here is everything you need to know about the Dracomundus Purgatory update!

1. Break Down the Barriers: Full Cross-Play & City Transfer

Co-op monster hunting is at the heart of Dragonkin: The Banished, and NACON is taking social play to the next level:

• Full Cross-Play: Console and PC borders are officially down! Players across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can now seamlessly squad up, fight side-by-side, share loot easily, and progress together without platform restrictions.
• City Transfer Feature: Your settlement growth no longer stops when you switch playstyles. With the new City Transfer mechanic, you can freely transfer your city’s progress between online and offline modes whenever you like.

2. Enter the Dracomundus Purgatory: The Ultimate Endgame Challenge

Looking to test your build against unrelenting odds? Accessible through a portal after completing an endgame hunt, the new Dracomundus Purgatory mode is an adrenaline-fueled race against time.

• Randomised Island Gauntlet: Each run pulls three distinct islands from a pool of over 50 unique locations, making every attempt feel fresh.
• Beat the Clock: You aren’t just fighting monsters—you are fighting the timer. Eliminate hordes as quickly as possible and smash Draconic Altars scattered across the terrain to recover precious seconds.
• The Final Showdown: Clear the gauntlet and survive long enough, and you’ll face the fearsome Champion of Purgatory in a high-stakes boss battle.

3. Devour Power with Voracious Weapons & Custom Forging

Tougher challenges demand far deadlier arsenals. The update introduces a brand-new equipment category: Voracious Weapons.

• Unique Passive Traits: These rare armaments carry game-changing passive abilities designed to completely alter how your character’s combat style functions.
• Sacrifice Gear to Power Up: Got unwanted loot cluttering your inventory? You can now sacrifice unused weapons to power up your Voracious Weapons and push their power levels to new heights.
• Custom Forging & Ancestral Grid: Tailor your gear to perfection. A new custom forging mechanic lets you pick exact affixes to transfer onto your weapons, creating ultimate synergies with your character’s Ancestral Grid progression system.

Ready for the Hunt?

With full cross-play, endless randomised endgame gauntlets, and deep new gear customisation, Dracomundus Purgatory is an impressive expansion for an already stellar ARPG. Best of all? It’s completely free for all owners of Dragonkin: The Banished.

Gather your party, sharpen your gear, and dive back into the fray today!
