Global CBT Feedback Reflected as Launch Shifts to March; Controls and Combat Enhancements Underway

JANUARY 16, 2026 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a developer note for its highly anticipated co-op open world RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, outlining key improvements identified through its recent closed beta test. Alongside detailing gameplay refinements based on player feedback, it also announced that the game’s global launch has been rescheduled from January to March to further enhance overall quality and polish. 

Following the closed beta test conducted in late 2025, the development team has been actively refining multiple core gameplay systems based on community feedback. These efforts include improving the overall combat system with a focus on greater intuitiveness and clearer visibility that enhances character controls and responsiveness, and strengthening the overall convenience features to ensure smoother gameplay flow. The goal is to offer a more seamless and immersive co-op open world RPG that elevates both exploration and combat.

“We are grateful to everyone who participated in the CBT and shared valuable feedback,” said Do-Hyung Koo, the Executive Producer of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin. “Thanks to your input, we are making meaningful improvements to ensure a more intuitive and immersive co-op open world RPG experience at launch.” 

Throughout 2025, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin garnered attention at major global gaming events including Summer Game Fest, gamescom ONL, Tokyo Game Show, G-STAR 2025, and The Game Awards. Fans were introduced to the game through multiple trailers and demo builds. In early November 2025, a global CBT was conducted, yielding strong feedback, with 95% of survey respondents indicating they would continue playing after launch.

Set to launch globally on PlayStation® 5, Steam, and mobile simultaneously, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is now available for pre-registration on Google Play, the App Store, and the official website, with wishlist options on PlayStation® 5 and Steam.

Based on the hit Japanese manga and anime IP The Seven Deadly Sins, which has sold over 55 million copies globally, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin lets players explore Britannia in a vast open world. It features tag-based combat, combination skills, and customizable teams using diverse characters and weapons. Multiplayer elements include forming parties for exploration or teaming up to defeat bosses.
