Hound13 Studio hosted an official developer livestream to showcase details of the upcoming major update 1.1 for its action-adventure role-playing game Dragon Sword: Awakening. The patch will be released on October 15th and will bring a lot of content and important changes based on community feedback.
Main new features of version 1.1:
- Lineup supplement: Lysa, one of the six heroes, will join players completely free of charge. You can get it by completing the “Reunion” mission after fighting the real dragon Gao Lung. Lysa uses a lightning spear, which has high mobility and synergy with the electric shock and knockdown status.
- Ranked Hunting System: Completing challenges will now reward rankings from S to D based on time, dodge, and armor breaking, and bring Awakening Stones as a one-time reward. For veterans, there will also be a more difficult Hell mode.
- Appearance and Balance: The game will feature new legendary costumes for Erin, Reyna, and Othello (the previously promised bunny costume will be released at a later date), and combat balance will feature a redesign of the critical damage and armor penetration formulas.
- Quality of Life (QoL): The developers improved cooking cooldowns, expanded map icons for farming routes, added label combo animation transitions, and made it easier to collect achievement rewards.
Sales success and future plans
During the Q&A session, the developers shared important news about the development of the project. Current cumulative sales Dragon Sword: Awakening More than 400,000 copies. The creator promised that when sales reach 500,000 copies, producer Yoon Jin Chan will perform a live broadcast wearing Johnny’s costume as previously promised.
