DragonSword : Awakening

DragonSword : Awakening is developed and published by Hound13 Inc. It released on July 22, 2026, for Windows via Steam. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game follows Lute, a young traveler swept up with a mercenary band, as a dragon that once nearly destroyed the Continent of Orbis reawakens after 60 years of peace.

À propos du jeu

DragonSword : Awakening centers on tag-team combat built around Status Ailments. Each of the game’s 19 playable Heroes carries a distinct ailment ability, and stacking those effects with Active Skills sets up powerful Signal Skills that chain devastating combos together. Players constantly switch between Heroes mid-fight through Switching Signals, building teams around combinations that suit their preferred combat style.

Beyond combat, Orbis functions as a living open world players explore entirely on foot, from meadows and watchtower cellars to deep-sea ruins and hidden dungeons. Cooking systems let players combine found ingredients into new dishes, and side activities built around helping local residents give the world a lived-in, everyday rhythm alongside the main quest to track down the legendary Heroes of old. Notably, the game began life as a gacha title published by Webzen before Hound13 regained the rights and relaunched it as a complete, premium release with no microtransactions or stamina systems gating progression.
