You Have Awakened arrives October on MapleStory Worlds with Traditional Chinese
Key takeaways
- Official launch: October 2026 with Traditional Chinese support
- Platforms: MapleStory Worlds on PC, iOS and Android (cross-platform single account)
- Developer: Tigerworks (solo Korean developer); pre-open player data will be preserved
You Have Awakened (당신은 각성하였습니다.), a solo project from Korean developer Tigerworks, will leave pre-open and officially launch in October 2026 on the MapleStory Worlds platform with full support for official Traditional Chinese. The game is free-to-play, cross-platform on PC, iOS and Android, and the developer says player data from the current pre-open will be preserved for the live launch.
Built as a fast-paced idle action RPG inside MapleStory Worlds, You Have Awakened stages its story in a copied MapleWorld where awakened heroes set out from the settlement Everdusk to climb a mysterious tower and save a collapsing world. The team has already posted the introductory story episode for the core Runeword system, titled “World Memory,” and the narrative will expand across future seasonal updates.
Combat is split into two distinct experiences. The main loop leans on high-speed, screen-clearing auto-battles designed around satisfying large-mob kills, while 2-to-4 player raid bosses disable auto-battle entirely and require 100% manual inputs for movement, skill timing and teammate coordination. The game’s auto-battle uses an AI-driven Auto-Swap system that can switch between preset gear sets—one tuned for clearing mobs and another for tackling elites—so players only need to optimize two loadouts instead of micromanaging every encounter.
Systems beneath the surface aim to reduce busywork. Equipment spans one-handed swords, two-handed swords, bows and more, with S-rank special weapons carrying unique effects to change combat behavior. Gear wear, dismantle, synthesis, enhancement and growth can all be handled through a one-click bulk management tool. Planned live updates for and after the October launch include new raid content, an in-game marketplace that supports player trading, the Runeword system, and a Combat Sequence feature letting players set custom auto-battle casting orders; seasonal content will add exclusive gear, skills and thematic events.
Tigerworks says the initial design goal was to capture the instant satisfaction of floods of enemies being cut down while letting players use smart auto-battle for steady progression and switch to pure manual play for raid challenges with friends. The game already provides global automatic translation during pre-open and will replace that with an official Traditional Chinese localization at launch in October 2026. Because the title runs on MapleStory Worlds with a single cross-platform account and promises retained pre-open saves, players who’ve been testing the build can pick up their progress as the game moves into the full release.
Why it matters
Takeaway: If you’ve been farming during pre-open, your progress carries into the October 2026 launch—and when official Traditional Chinese arrives, the same cross-platform account will let you keep playing on PC or mobile without starting over.
