Dragon Is Dead Set to Exit Early Access with Full Release This June

PM Studios has announced that the 2D action RPG roguelite "Dragon Is Dead" will leave early access and launch its full 1.0 version on June 6, 2025. The game, developed by TeamSuneat, has been in early access since June 7, 2024.

The development team originally planned for about a year of early access to fine-tune the game based on player feedback. This approach has allowed them to balance gameplay and address concerns before the full release.

New Features Coming in Version 1.0

According to PM Studios, the full version will include several major additions:

• Final Region and Boss Battle: Players will face the ultimate truth behind the dragon's death as the remaining members of the Guernian clan become involved with the Circle of the Dawn's schemes.

• New Enemies: The game introduces the Circle of the Black Dawn, a group of fanatical human worshippers led by Ashat. These enemies seized the Guernian's heart after its death and now seek to expand their power.

• Improved Gear System: Players will discover new Legendary gear and an entirely new tier of equipment called Mythic, which offers powerful effects to enhance character builds.

• Item Quenching: This new system lets players add new options to their equipment and upgrade existing ones, creating more customization possibilities.

• New Playable Character: The Hunter joins the roster, bringing a unique feral combat style and special skills.

• Nightmare Mode x16: For players seeking greater challenges after completing the base game, 16 levels of Nightmare difficulty will be available. These levels feature completely new enemy patterns and systems, not just more enemies.

Dragon Is Dead draws comparisons to Dead Cells, while adding its own robust RPG systems and narrative elements.

PM Studios has released a new trailer highlighting the upcoming features and confirming the June 6 release date. Check it out below:
