Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin) is more than just another anime adaptation. It is Netmarble’s most ambitious open-world anime RPG to date.

A new story: play as Prince Tristan on a quest to restore order

The biggest highlight of Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is that players will take on the role of Prince Tristan of Liones, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth. Instead of retelling the original anime story, the game introduces a completely new narrative:

Tristan embarks on an epic journey to restore order to Britannia, a land thrown into chaos by a collision of time and space. This concept allows players to encounter familiar characters from different timelines, creating a story that feels both grand in scale and full of mystery.

This narrative approach makes Seven Deadly Sins: Origin feel like a major expansion of the The Seven Deadly Sins universe rather than a simple spin-off.

  • Unrestricted exploration: Travel freely across different regions of Britannia, from dense forests and open plains to majestic kingdoms, all presented in a vibrant anime-inspired art style.
  • Deep environmental interaction: Players can climb, glide, solve environmental puzzles, and use Tristan’s abilities along with his allies to reach hidden areas.
  • Real-time action combat: The combat system shifts to fast-paced real-time action, marking a clear departure from previous Seven Deadly Sins games.
