Draconia New Release - Innovative Dragon Movement System Unveiled

Date: January 31, 2026

Draconia, the highly anticipated MORPG where players assume the role of a dragon, has received a major update that overhauls its movement mechanics and adds a host of new features, visual effects, and enemy content. The latest build, powered by the newest Unreal Engine capabilities, brings a more responsive and immersive experience to the skies of Draconia.

Key Highlights

A brand‑new movement system is now live on the Wyvern, allowing players to modify movement speed, dodge (double‑tap A/S), dash (double‑tap W), and regenerate stamina while gliding (G) without landing.
Experimental throttle system gives finer control over movement input, with a “Toggle Throttle Movement” option enabled by default.
Free‑cam toggle (ALT) lets players switch to a free‑look mode when the option is enabled.
Movement‑mode gameplay‑effect support has been integrated, enabling context‑sensitive abilities.
Dashing and dodging now consume 10 % stamina per use; stamina‑regen calculations have been added to the system.
New double‑tap W/S key‑bindings provide additional movement actions.
VFX pipeline under development for enemy NPC attacks and the upcoming “active” skill‑tree system.
New enemy NPCs will begin spawning on the first three islands according to timed schedules.
The golem’s animation set has been fully reworked and expanded to work with the new movement system, featuring a larger variety of attacks.
The European dragon model is nearing completion after final polishing.
Custom assets for future storylines and factions have been created, matching each region’s visual style.
Legacy accessories (Eastern dragon mask, flower crown, gems, etc.) have been re‑modeled to fit the updated dragon character models.
