Netmarble officially released its new open-world RPG, 'The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin', on PS5 and Steam on the 17th.

The game builds upon the 'The Seven Deadly Sins' IP—a manga juggernaut with 55 million copies sold globally—by injecting a multiverse twist into its original narrative.

At launch, a roster of 18 heroes is available, including series staples like Meliodas, Tristan, Diane, and King, alongside original characters. Players can explore iconic locations such as Liones Castle, the Fairy Forest, and Baste Dungeon, offering an experience that feels like stepping into the anime world.

Combat revolves around a four-hero party system, allowing players to swap characters on the fly. Combat styles vary based on hero and weapon combinations, and the 'Co-op Skill' system maximizes the fun. The game also offers multiplayer content where players can party up with friends to explore the open world or challenge powerful bosses.

The PS5 version utilizes the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to provide a vivid sense of control during combat and exploration. Haptic feedback is applied to character attack skills and major actions, as well as when operating devices like cannons or ballistae, or opening doors.

Adaptive triggers are applied to life and adventure content. For instance, in fishing, the tension of the trigger changes to mimic the sensation of pulling a real fishing rod. The pressure sensitivity of the buttons also adjusts when characters use powerful magic or attack skills, enhancing the impact and individuality of each skill.

Additionally, the PS5's high-resolution 4K graphics precisely render the natural landscapes of the Britannia continent and the dynamic movements of the characters, providing players with a visual immersion that makes them feel as if they have entered the anime world.

As of 10 AM on the 17th, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin reached 6th place on the Steam global top-sellers list. Specifically, it ranked 1st in France, 2nd in Belgium, Italy, and Spain, 4th in Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands, 5th in Korea, Japan, the UK, Brazil, Denmark, and Thailand, 7th in Hong Kong, and 11th in the US. The PS5 user rating reached 4.35 out of 5.

To celebrate the launch, Netmarble is gifting approximately 59,000 Star Fragments and 90 standard hero summon tickets. Through launch events, players can receive the SSR hero 'Guila', SSR 'Black Flame Wing' Ran, an SSR weapon selector, 60 standard hero summon tickets, 10 pickup hero summon tickets, and 4,300 Star Fragments. The mobile version will be released on the 24th.
