DragonSword: Awakening Post-Launch Heroes
Last updated: August 2026
Ryza, Jerome, Veronica, and Logan — free H2 2026 hero releases and their combat specialties.
Free Hero Roadmap
Ryza arrives first as shock specialist throwing spears and teleporting to continue assaults — one of the Six Heroes of Orbis. Preview her on the Ryza character page.
Jerome follows as knockdown greatsword user with three-stage Grab on Super Armor break — see Jerome preview.
Veronica delivers bare-handed martial arts plus gun ranged Stun application — Veronica preview.
Logan completes the lineup as shield tank protecting allies — Logan preview.
Each hero takes approximately six months to develop per Hound13 — advance production enables sequential H2 releases without paid DLC gates. Hero Requests begin with Othello, then Ryza's story per the July roadmap livestream.
Hound13's Steam Q&A confirms all four are included in the base game regardless of sales performance — not stretch-goal content.
