DragonSword plans Steam Workshop support for mods

DragonSword: Awakening developer Hound13 announced on August 24 that it is preparing Steam Workshop support and published its mod policy in advance. The opening date will come in a separate notice, so Workshop access is not live merely because the guidelines now exist.

DragonSword: confirmed details

Permitted examples include free character skins, texture changes, accessories, field-of-view options, user-interface improvements and mods that increase difficulty. Prohibited work includes DLC bypasses, trainers, unfair advantages, unlicensed third-party IP, extracted original assets, paid mods, explicit sexual content and software that creates security risks.

What changes for players

Publishing boundaries before the Workshop opens gives creators time to design projects that can survive moderation. The policy favors additions and harder challenges while protecting progression and paid content. It also makes the official distribution route important: external loaders, DLL modifications and executable patches are explicitly outside the permitted system.

Release and platform context

The announcement applies to DragonSword: Awakening on Steam. Hound13 says only Workshop-based modding will be officially permitted once support arrives. The company may remove violating files or restrict access, and users should not treat the policy as permission to redistribute unreleased data or official game assets.

This report reflects the developer’s official information published on August 24, 2026. Features, schedules and balance can change after publication, so the linked announcement and current game build remain the final references.
