Dragon Sword: Awakening, a premium gacha-style game from South Korean studio Hound13 Inc., has recently reached a significant milestone. Since its release on July 23, 2026, the game has amassed over 1 million Steam wishlist adds and surpassed 300,000 copies sold in less than three weeks.
Initially, Dragon Sword: Awakening was developed as a free-to-play gacha game with microtransactions. However, due to conflicts with the publisher, the development team restructured it into a premium, complete RPG. Priced at 98 yuan on Steam and featuring no "gacha" mechanics for character acquisition, the game has received enthusiastic responses from players who have long grown tired of such monetization models.
In an official announcement, the development team expressed deep gratitude for the support and feedback from fans. The Dragon Sword: Awakening team emphasized that every figure in the report reflects users' attention and trust. They will keep this appreciation in mind and continue to strive to bring more fun and comfort to future journeys.
