Netmarble announces The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin for PS5, PC, and mobile with closed beta starting October 30 and global launch set for January 28, 2026.
Netmarble's The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin was originally scheduled to launch worldwide on January 28, 2026, but was delayed to March 2026 to refine gameplay depth following extensive Closed Beta Test feedback. The open-world action RPG will release on PlayStation 5, PC via Steam, and mobile devices (iOS, Android).
Developed by the same studio behind Solo Leveling: Arise and powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game marks a new chapter in the franchise as a next-generation reinterpretation first announced in 2022.
Story and Characters
Players take on the role of Prince Tristan of the Kingdom of Liones, son of series protagonists Meliodas and Elizabeth. The story follows Tristan's journey after being chosen by the "Book of Stars" to restore peace to Britannia, now thrown into disarray by a mysterious collision of time and space.
