YOHCAN Studio announced today that its upcoming title, Awaking Beauty, has been officially selected as an official exhibition title for BitSummit PUNCH 2026, Japan's largest indie game festival. The development team will head to Miyako Messe in Kyoto from May 22 to 24 for an on-site showcase, greeting players and media from around the globe.
To celebrate this annual indie game milestone, the team has released a brand-new game trailer today. Furthermore, a major update for the online Steam Demo is scheduled to launch on May 21, allowing players worldwide who cannot attend the event in person to experience the game's unique charm firsthand.
Awaking Beauty is an action game featuring high-contrast visual aesthetics and smooth, satisfying combat. The newly revealed trailer showcases the team's signature art style—blending high-energy American cartoon animation with a Japanese anime aesthetic. It also offers a first look at brand-new narrative stages and high-stakes, intense Boss battles.
To share the excitement with global players, the team will push a massive update to the Steam Demo on May 21, one day prior to the event's opening. This update significantly optimizes hit feedback and operational responsiveness while introducing new combat mechanics. It aims to deliver a deeper, more replayable experience tailored for Roguelite action enthusiasts. Additionally, this version features a fresh soundtrack crafted by TPOP Studio.
During the exhibition (May 22–24), YOHCAN Studio welcomes all challengers at Booth 3F-D40 on the 3rd floor. Visitors who either play the on-site demo or add Awaking Beauty to their Steam Wishlist can join a lucky draw with a 100% win rate!
The team has prepared daily limited-edition "Awaking Charms" exclusively for the Kyoto showcase, aiming to personally deliver the game's blessings to players. Authentic local snacks packed with Taiwanese warmth have also traveled across the ocean, and the team looks forward to engaging in deep conversations with players from Japan and the rest of the world.
