Independent developer Elos Games And Arts has officially pulled back the curtain on its ambitious new project, Sagas of Lumin, a semi-open-world action RPG that seeks to redefine the bond between player and dragon. Scheduled for an Early Access launch in Q3 2026, the title blends high-fantasy aesthetics with steampunk technology.
Set in the fragmented world of Lumin, the game placing players in the role of a “Drair”—a warrior uniquely bonded to a high-flying companion. Unlike many titles where dragons serve primarily as mounts or scripted sequences, Sagas of Lumin features a seamless transition system. Players can dive from the clouds into a grounded skirmish, leaving their dragon to provide autonomous fire support from above while they engage enemies with a mix of medieval weaponry and steampunk firearms.
The developer has emphasized a “physics-driven” flight model, designed to make aerial maneuvers like barrel rolls, steep dives, and mid-air “crushing tackles” feel weighty and responsive. This mechanical depth extends to the ground, where the combat system relies on precise parrying, dodging, and elemental magic.
“We wanted to move away from the traditional ‘good versus evil’ narrative,” a spokesperson for Elos Games And Arts stated during the announcement. “Lumin is a world of conflicting interests and morally grey factions. Every choice the player makes—and every bond they forge with the various dragon species—will ripple through the story.”
The world itself is built in Unreal Engine 5, showcasing a variety of biomes ranging from frost-covered mountain peaks to floating islands housing ancient temples. Travelers will navigate these lands not just on wing, but also by interacting with a network of massive industrial airships that serve as both transport and occasional aerial fortresses to be sieged.
For players eager to test their wings, a playable demo is currently available on Steam. The demo offers a vertical slice of the experience, featuring a mid-game mission that highlights both the flight mechanics and a boss encounter against a rival faction’s heavy cruiser.
Sagas of Lumin is currently listed for PC, with a full release following the Early Access period planned for late 2027.
