The release schedule for Netmarble’s Anime open world RPG, <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin>, has been officially confirmed. The game is set for an early release on PS5 and Steam on March 17, followed by a Grand Launch across all platforms, including mobile, on March 24.

For the countless gamers and fans of the original series who have been eagerly waiting, the long-anticipated day is almost here. Since last year, <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin> has been building global momentum and refining its gameplay through appearances at major international gaming events like Gamescom and TGS, as well as pre-registration events and Closed Beta Tests (CBT) for players worldwide.

To help you get fully prepared for your upcoming adventure across the continent of Britannia, we’re excited to give you an exclusive preview of what <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin> has in store. Let’s take a closer look at the key details and must-know features ahead of the official launch.

A Familiar World, A New Reality,
Dive into the Multiverse

The first topic we’ll explore is the worldview of <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin>. As many of you know, this game is based on the hit manga series [The Seven Deadly Sins], which has sold over 55 million cumulative copies worldwide.

First and foremost, the key characters driving the story are deeply connected to the original series. For example, the silver-haired protagonist Tristan is the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, the central couple of [The Seven Deadly Sins], and also plays an important role in <Four Knights of the Apocalypse>. Likewise, the Holy Knight Grand Master Howzer appears as a major ally, having featured in both series.

Then there’s Tioreh, a pink-haired girl and Tristan’s childhood friend. As the daughter of King and Diane, she is a unique character created through close collaboration between original creator Nakaba Suzuki and Netmarble. Notably, she made her very first appearance in this game, even before debuting in the <Four Knights of the Apocalypse> manga.

Beyond these deep-rooted connections, an entirely new narrative begins to unfold as time and space start to warp. This chaos is triggered by a mysterious artifact known as the『Book of Stars』discovered by Tristan and Tioreh in a hidden chamber. As time becomes distorted, certain regions across the continent of Britannia shift into their past or future states. The phenomenon even brings characters from different timelines into the present day, setting the stage for a truly unpredictable and original story.

In addition, players will encounter a variety of original characters exclusive to the game. Some may wonder if these new faces will blend seamlessly with the established elements of the original series. However, expectations are high, as the developer Netmarble F&C previously received critical acclaim for its meticulous recreation of the original world in <The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross>. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, this latest title was developed through close collaboration with the original creator, Nakaba Suzuki.

In short, <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin> is a project that strives to strike a perfect balance between faithful recreation and original elements, all rooted in a deep understanding of the source material. The result is a gaming experience that feels both comfortably familiar yet refreshingly new.

A World of Endless Adventure

Now that we’ve explored the worldview, it’s time to look at the actual content you can enjoy within it. The continent of Britannia, the stage for <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin>, has been realized as a massive open world spanning approximately 30 square kilometers.

As players follow the main storyline, they can immerse themselves in a rich and captivating adventure, filled with sub-quests, epic boss battles, and hidden secrets including treasure chests tucked away in every corner.

Beyond its rich content, the game offers a diverse array of highlights, with its visuals being the absolute standout. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin> boasts high-fidelity 3D cel-shaded graphics that set a new standard for quality. The meticulous character modeling seamlessly blends the original series' signature aesthetic into a 3D space, significantly heightening the sense of immersion. Furthermore, the environment is densely packed with various interactive elements, bringing the continent of Britannia to life with vibrant detail.

What makes exploring this lively world even more exciting is the versatile traversal system. In addition to basic movements like walking, running, and rock climbing, each character possesses a unique "Adventure Skill." These specialized traversal abilities allow for creative navigation such as climbing high terrain on summoned tree vines or gathering wind to leap high into the air, enabling players to freely reach even the most inaccessible locations.

In addition, the Pet content expands your horizons with gliders for soaring through the skies and a variety of mounts that traverse both land and air. These mounts can be obtained by capturing field monsters, blending the thrill of exploration and convenience with the pure joy of collection.

Last but certainly not least is the combat. In <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin>, players will encounter a wide range of battles, from skirmishes with wandering field monsters to epic showdowns against formidable bosses. The core mechanic involves forming a four-character party and switching between them in real-time during combat. With intuitive controls and spectacular skill animations, the game offers an action-packed experience that is accessible and fun for everyone.

Two standout features truly set this game apart. First is the weapon versatility, which allows a single character to wield various types of armaments. For instance, Tristan can fight using his signature "Dual Swords" as seen in <Four Knights of the Apocalypse>, but he is also highly proficient with Longswords and Greatswords.

Additionally, original characters like Manni can switch between a Staff, Dual Swords, and a Longsword, allowing him to completely change his combat style on the fly. Players are encouraged to pay close attention to the details, as attack animations and available skills vary depending on the weapon equipped.

The second standout feature is the party composition and the activation of ‘Combined Attacks’. Thanks to the weapon versatility mentioned earlier, a single character can fulfill multiple roles, offering an incredible degree of freedom in team building. However, the game also demands deep strategic thinking; players must consider character-specific passives and the specific conditions required to trigger ‘Combined Attacks’ powerful coordinated strikes where two or more characters join forces. This layer of depth ensures a highly rewarding experience for those who love to master game mechanics.

Rising as a Global Powerhouse

Netmarble’s anime open-world RPG, [The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin], has steadily strengthened its global presence through appearances at major gaming events around the world. Starting with Summer Game Fest, the game has made its mark at Gamescom, TGS, G-STAR, and most recently, the Taipei Game Show this past January, consistently capturing the attention of the global gaming community.

Furthermore, the game has consistently expanded its reach to gamers worldwide through a series of global Closed Beta Tests (CBT). Players who experienced <The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin> firsthand at international gaming shows and through CBTs expressed high levels of satisfaction, praising its high-quality localization and overall gameplay polish.
