DragonSword: Awakening What to Do on Launch Day

Step 1: Purchase or Verify Your Edition

When your region unlocks per the Release Times schedule, buy directly on Steam App 4570720 — no pre-purchase existed beforehand. Standard Edition ($29.99) includes the full game and all 19 launch heroes. Deluxe Edition ($49.99) adds digital artbook, soundtrack, and cosmetic Valiant Hatchling Familiar. Compare details on our DLC & Editions page.

Step 2: Claim Free Launch Rewards

Immediately claim the Abyssal Direwolf Familiar — free for all players from launch through August 31, 2026. Hound13 offers it at 100% discount as a launch thank-you; after August 31 it returns to paid DLC pricing. No external redeem codes required — check in-game mail or the promotional menu after first login.

Step 3: Configure Recommended Settings

Enable the new lock-on system and optional aim assist in settings — retail additions addressing top demo feedback. Install on SSD with 60 GB free space per store requirements. Set interface language among eleven supported options; voice acting remains Korean with subtitles in all languages.

Step 4: Start Your Orbis Journey

Begin Chapter 1 as Lute joining Johnny Mercenary — demo veterans restart from scratch because save data does not transfer. Read the Tag-Team Combat guide before your first boss, then experiment with teams in the Team Builder. Watch the official launch trailer below for gameplay expectations captured from retail builds.
