Com2uS announced on August 22 that it has applied the 3rd awakening update to Com2uS Pro Baseball for Manager LIVE 2026 (hereinafter referred to as Com2uS Pro Baseball for Manager LIVE 2026) and kicked off the first part of its Big Inning Festa celebrating the service's 13th anniversary. Through this update, the growth limits for Prime and Rising players have been expanded.

The 3rd awakening applies to core player grades, specifically Prime and Rising players. These players can boost their stats and enhance special abilities through the 3rd awakening. Prime player-exclusive special abilities have also been added, increasing bonus figures and strengthening the strategic depth of player development and team building.

In addition, the number of acquired cards required for the 1st awakening has been reduced from 6 to 3, improving convenience in player development. Com2uS previously applied the 3rd awakening to Monster and Veteran grades last February, effectively reinforcing the overall growth system with this update.

A 'Deck Guide' convenience feature has also been added for new and beginner users. Users can reference the roster composition and team settings of top-ranking users through the Deck Guide. This is expected to help users easily grasp effective player composition and growth directions.

Alongside the update, the first part of the 'Big Inning Festa' event celebrating the 13th anniversary is underway. Starting August 22, users can acquire manager cards, Prime wish tickets, Monster, Veteran, and Prime player cards through the '13th Anniversary Big Inning Free Pass'. Furthermore, the '13th Anniversary Big Inning Weekly Free Package' will be offered in the in-game shop every week for four weeks, sequentially granting major growth items such as Premium Rising Draft Tickets and Premium Draft Tickets.

In addition, marking the Chuseok holiday, the '13th Anniversary Big Inning Chuseok Free Package' will be provided for free starting August 22. This package includes in-game currency cash and a 4-star manager acquisition ticket. Com2uS also plans to distribute separate holiday commemorative rewards to users who log into the game from September 24 to September 26.
