Unveiling the Environments of Nurõrgartt
Hello, Dragon Hunters!
As the next major update for Dragonkin: The Banished approaches, we’d like to give you a sneak peek at the environments of Nurõrgartt and the new Dragonkin you’ll have to face.
This new biome is defined by two distinct environments: the tundra and Fafnir’s glacier.
[h3]The tundra[/h3]
We love creating environments that are more than just backdrops for your adventure. Each of our levels offers the chance to discover, explore, and fight. The tundra of Nurõrgartt is no exception.
While hunting in the tundra, you’ll come across the Toriel Clan Village, nestled within the fjords, which you can visit and explore.
We designed the tundra’s mountainous plateaus as a cold, inhospitable land where life struggles to survive. Yet, here the Barbarians have managed to survive despite the influence of the White Dragon Lord, but they’re not alone…
[h3]The Walking Charnel[/h3]
One of the most striking threats in this region is the Walking Charnel, a golem-like creature formed of fused armor and skeletons, bound together by ice. When it lets out a chilling roar and slams the ground, it unleashes a devastating shockwave, slowing anyone caught in its path while dealing massive area damage.
[h3]Fafnir’s glacier[/h3]
Deeper in the mountains, in this frozen expanse, the cold bites deep, snow covers echoes of the past, and ice traps ancient ships from another era.
This is a battlefield scarred by countless conflicts, where ruins and remnants of war dot the landscape.
We wanted Fafnir’s Glacier to make players feel the isolation, while also showcasing the raw, untamed beauty of the frozen wilderness and tease the history of these lands.
[h3]The Icebreaker[/h3]
In this realm of endless ice and snow, it was essential to introduce an enemy capable of vanishing beneath the snow and ambushing players with devastating force.
This adds to the constant feeling of danger that looms over players in this harsh environment.
[h3]What else to expect in the upcoming update?[/h3]
There’s a lot coming in the next update! Such as, your hub, the city of Montescail, expanding with new services, and a new endgame activity: the Test of Will.
We’ll share more details very soon in our upcoming DevBlogs! In the meantime, check out our DevBlog on How We Plan Updates During Early Access:
