You may have heard of the Korean RPG DragonSword: Awakening, which has taken Steam by storm since its launch a week or so ago. The anime-inspired open world adventure has sold over 200k copies so far, and has been rewarded by its decision to scrap all microtransactions and gacha elements. The release has peaked with over 23k concurrent players on Steam, and has almost 90% positive reviews. There’s no word on when it will be released, but I’d imagine it’s still fairly early at this stage. Nevertheless, this may be something to look forward to if you like the anime aesthetics of Wuthering Waves et al, but aren’t willing to commit to a life-consuming live service game.
