DragonSword: Awakening Update 1.0.8 Patch Notes

DragonSword: Awakening update 1.0.8 released on August 7, 2026, making it the latest patch so far. The exact contents of 1.0.8 have not been fully confirmed, so treat specific gameplay changes as unconfirmed until Hound13 publishes official patch notes. What is confirmed is the version history, the 1.0.7 matchmaking addition, and the recent cosmetic DLC.

Update 1.0.8 — What We Know So Far

Update 1.0.8 is dated August 7, 2026, the same day the Moonlight on the Night Sea DLC launched. Hound13 has not published a detailed breakdown of what this patch changes, so any specific balance or content notes you see elsewhere are unconfirmed. What you can rely on is the version number and the release date; the fine print should wait for an official changelog.

The Patch History So Far

DragonSword: Awakening has shipped a steady string of updates since launch: 1.0.3 on July 25, 2026, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 on July 30, 2026, 1.0.6 on July 31, 2026, 1.0.7 on August 6, 2026, and 1.0.8 on August 7, 2026. With the game releasing July 22, 2026, the first five patches all arrived within ten days of launch, and 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 followed in early August — a pace that points to active post-launch support.

1.0.7 Brought Co-op Matchmaking

The one clearly confirmed gameplay addition is in update 1.0.7, released August 6, 2026, which added matchmaking to the game’s co-op. Previously, co-op relied on private rooms, and matchmaking made it easier to find other players. Co-op in DragonSword: Awakening uses peer-to-peer hosting rather than dedicated servers, so connection quality depends on whoever is hosting. The common problems players report include failed invites, host lag and infinite matchmaking, which is why matchmaking became a requested feature. For more on how multiplayer works overall, the co-op guide walks through rooms, hosting and the common connection problems.

New Cosmetic DLC

Two DLC packs have been released so far, both cosmetic: the Summer Sea Set arrived on July 31, 2026, and Moonlight on the Night Sea launched on August 7, 2026 with a launch discount. DLC is limited to cosmetic outfits and companions rather than gameplay power, consistent with the game’s no-gacha, buy-to-play design.

The 8-Hour Live Stream

Hound13 also held an eight-hour live stream on August 10, 2026 (KST). The developer has not released a full public summary of the broadcast, so details of what was shown are best treated as unconfirmed until officially confirmed.

How to Track Official Notes
