Dragon Sword: Awakening releases in Japan, gacha‑free anime RPG

The anime‑style open‑world RPG Dragon Sword: Awakening launched this week in Japan as a buy‑to‑play title with no gacha mechanics. The game features colorful graphics, a cast of attractive characters and the ability to explore the world on the back of a giant shrike. A free “Vansa‑like” mode and an experimental MMO without chat or combat are also highlighted as part of the release package.

Game*Spark’s weekly roundup also listed several other upcoming titles, such as Halo: Campaign Evolved, Xenoblade 2 Switch 2 Edition and Mistfall Hunter, but emphasized Dragon Sword: Awakening as a standout title for its gacha‑free model and anime aesthetic.
