Awaken divine weapons, absorb elemental artifacts, and unleash devastating reactions as you descend into a cursed cycle of memory, power, and ritual.

You are trapped inside the Casket - a cursed sealing device forged to imprison the will of a fallen cult and its monstrous prophet. Every run forces you deeper into a cycle of memory, suffering, and rebirth - but also closer to mastery.

Death in Aksun is merely a part of a ritual and every victory peels back a layer of truth. Trapped inside the Seal of Aksun - a cursed prison born from shattered reincarnation - you’ll awaken lost weapons, absorb corrupted artifacts, and fight your way through a world that remembers your every attempt.

Descend into a cursed world shaped by Korean folklore, wield powerful weapons and combine them with over 110 artifacts and Echoes of the Five Elements to develop devastating builds. Deliberate combat rewards careful timing and reading enemy attacks, while interconnected progression systems open up new ways to approach each run.

Wayway Inc. are excited to announce that Aksun, the hack-and-slash roguelite rooted in Korean shamanism, will leave Early Access and launch in version 1.0 on Steam on November 27, 2026.

The full release adds the final chapter and final boss, bringing the main story to its conclusion. A new weapon complete with its own abilities and artifacts expands the possibilities for building your character, while new endgame content offers further challenges beyond the story.

Complete the Final Chapter

Following the first phase of the King Mokdu encounter introduced during Early Access, version 1.0 brings players to the final showdown. Take on the concluding chapter, and uncover the ending of Aksun’s main story.

Master a New Weapon

A new weapon joins Aksun’s arsenal, complete with its own abilities and artifacts. Experiment with new combinations and discover fresh ways to tackle the dangers ahead, including the new endgame content arriving with the full release.

Shaped by Early Access

Since entering Early Access in July, Aksun has continued to grow with new content and refinements. Version 1.0 builds on that work with multiple gameplay and quality-of-life improvements, incorporating feedback from players throughout Early Access.

Coming in Version 1.0

• The final chapter and boss battle, bringing Aksun’s journey to its climax

• A new weapon with its own abilities and artifacts, opening up new build possibilities

• The main story’s ending, concluding the narrative developed throughout Early Access

• New endgame content, offering further challenges beyond the main story

• Gameplay and quality-of-life improvements, including changes informed by player feedback

Aksun’s progression is built on the interaction of three core components:

• Weapons, bound to Hell Gods, define your combat identity and unlock powerful Awakening Skills.
• Artifacts, crystallized remnants of cult rituals, grant elemental effects, deployable summons, and active chaos.
• Echoes, synergy-based stat modifiers, tie everything together into unpredictable, layered builds.

Mastering the relationships between these three systems is key to surviving - and breaking - the cycle.

Each Artifact belongs to one of the Five Elements - Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, or Lightning - and doesn’t just empower you in isolation. Combine them, and you’ll trigger destructive chain reactions: flame igniting storm, lightning crashing through molten stone.

Each chapter is a branching node map. After each stage, choose your next path and reward: strengthen your weapon with Resonance, gain a new Artifact Chime, unlock awakened passives, collect Echoes to shape your stats, or shop for high-risk upgrades. Every death resets your loadout, but each run teaches you more - unlocking smarter, deadlier combinations that evolve your build in unpredictable ways.

The entire game takes place inside a distorted echo of the Six Realms of Rebirth - a closed loop designed to punish those who rejected the cycle. The Mokdugi King, once a cult leader, is now its most broken prisoner.

Every design - from its mechanics to its symbols - is rooted in Korean myths, rituals, and spiritual beliefs: shamanism, elemental balance, divine punishment, and ancestral memory.

This isn’t just myth. It’s ritual, played in blood.

Aksun is coming to PC (Steam) on November 27, 2026.
