DragonSword: Awakening Global Release Times

Worldwide Simultaneous Release

Hound13 confirmed a single global unlock anchored to July 23, 2026 at 07:00 KST (Korea Standard Time). Because Steam uses regional clocks, western players see July 22 on their calendar while Korean announcements reference July 23. There is no staggered content gate — everyone accesses the same build at the same UTC moment.

The official July 16 launch trailer embedded in our Steam Launch guide was captured entirely from retail gameplay, showcasing Lute's journey, Familiar traversal, and tag-team combat ahead of release.
