DragonSword: Awakening sells one base package and a set of optional cosmetic add-ons. Nineteen store items were live within the first ten days of release: an edition upgrade, five costume sets, twelve Familiars, and two summer costumes added on July 31. None of them affect power. Every Hero and every meaningful piece of equipment comes out of the story and in-world activities, which is the core promise of the Buy-to-Play Model.
Editions
Edition | Price | Contents |
|---|---|---|
Standard | $29.99 | The full game. Hound13 describes it as more than enough for normal play. |
Deluxe Pack | $19.99 as an add-on | Digital artbook of roughly 80 pages covering regions, monsters, and character art; the soundtrack; and the Deluxe-exclusive Brave Baby Dragon Familiar. |
Deluxe Edition bundle | Base game plus Deluxe Pack at a 10 percent bundle discount | The two items above sold together. Buying them separately costs $49.99. |
Costumes
Each costume ships with a matching weapon skin, and several include toggles for accessories such as eyepatches and headpieces. Five sets went on sale at launch for $3.99 each. Hound13 said before release that the launch costumes cover Ornette, Cerese, Theresia, Dana, and Kalsion, and that Kalien's costume is hidden in a secret in-world location instead of being sold.
Costume | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Ophelia's Oath | $3.99 | Worn by Cerese; a patch note in 1.0.4 corrected the hair rendering on it |
Roderick Royal Uniform | $3.99 | Launch costume set |
Phantom Thief of Dawn | $3.99 | Launch costume set |
Wild Strawberry Waitress | $3.99 | Launch costume set |
Black-Dyed Vestment | $3.99 | Missing from the store on launch day; went on sale July 24 |
Summer Sea Set
The first post-launch cosmetic drop arrived with patch 1.0.6 on July 31. Three swimsuit costumes, each with its own weapon skin, priced at $7.99 apiece with a ten percent launch discount for two weeks and a thirty percent saving on the three-item bundle. Buyers who already owned part of the set could complete it at the difference.
Hero | Costume | Weapon Skin |
|---|---|---|
Astria | Coral Summer Mischief | Sunshine Heartshot |
Reina | White Flower of the Blue Waves | Petals at the Wave's Edge |
Cerese | Moonlight on the Night Sea | Star upon the Waves |
Cerese's set went live in the game files ahead of its store page. Hound13 confirmed on July 31 that the items were visible in-game but not yet purchasable, and explained that the three swimsuit sets had been brought forward from their original schedule, that one of them was missing content and had gone back for storefront re-review, and that the other two had passed. Moonlight on the Night Sea went on sale on August 6. Its own launch discount then failed to apply, which Hound13 acknowledged the following day, saying the cause had not been identified and that it was waiting on the storefront's support team.
Familiars
Roughly thirty Familiars exist in the game. About two-thirds are collected through play; the rest are sold. Paid and earned Familiars are functionally identical, since the shared species abilities unlock by collecting more of the same type regardless of where a given one came from. Twelve were on the store at $3.99 each in the first ten days.
Familiar | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Abyssal Direwolf | Free until August 31, 2026 | Normally $7.99. Claiming it during the window registers it permanently to the account |
War Direwolf | $3.99 | Direwolf line, on sale from launch day |
Gale Sky Wolf | $3.99 | Sky Wolf line, on sale from launch day |
Frost Sky Wolf | $3.99 | Sky Wolf line, on sale from launch day |

The Free Familiar Window
The Abyssal Direwolf is being given away until August 31, 2026 at 07:00 KST, which is August 30 at 15:00 Pacific. Adding it to a Steam library inside that window keeps it permanently; after the window closes it reverts to its regular $7.99 price. The wolf is a ground mount, and patch 1.0.4 fixed a bug that applied fall damage when remounting or boost-jumping after dismounting it.
How to Claim Purchased Items
Store purchases do not appear automatically in the field. A Familiar has to be claimed through Main Menu, then Codex, then Familiar. A costume is claimed through Main Menu, then Heroes, then the character it belongs to, then Costume.
How the Cosmetics Sold
Hound13 shared figures during the August 10 broadcast. The three Summer Sea Set swimsuits sold more than 100,000 units between them, which the studio said vastly exceeded expectations, and it apologised again for the delayed release of one of the three. Outside the swimsuits, the best-selling costume is Black-Dyed Vestment, worn by Theresia.
More costumes are planned on a rolling basis, chosen by internal priority and how much a given Hero appears in the game, and weapon skins are being expanded alongside them. Colour-palette customisation for existing costumes is being considered, as is a broader appearance-change system, though Hound13 described the costume weapon skins as its current answer to that request. Ysera is unlikely to get a costume in the near term: as one of the six story Heroes, a skin would mean redoing combat sound and voice work, which the studio called difficult rather than impossible.
Discounts follow the storefront's standard schedule, bundle savings already apply through the complete-the-set mechanism, and free giveaways of the Abyssal Direwolf kind are being considered for costumes too. Hound13 restated that there are no plans for microtransactions beyond cosmetics, no costume subscription, and no pay-what-you-want tipping.
What Is Not Sold
There is no gacha, no monthly subscription, and no battle pass. Outside of the costume and Familiar catalogue and the Deluxe Pack, Hound13 has said there are no separate in-game microtransactions. The position on story content changed after launch. On August 10, 2026 Hound13 said major story content is planned as free updates rather than paid downloadable content, and that a season pass is not planned for a package game. Whether the floating-island region itself is free or paid remains undecided. See Post-Launch Roadmap.
