If the excellent Arknights: Endfield didn’t already have you pondering how you’re going to stay on top of your gacha dailies, then this epic The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin launch trailer definitely will.
As we’re not intimately familiar with the manga source material, we’re going to defer to the press release to explain what’s going on here:
“The trailer centres on the game’s multiverse-driven narrative. As a massive crisis unfolds across the continent of Britannia, Meliodas, Tristan, Diane, and other iconic protagonists from different worlds gather in one place to confront the looming threat. New footage also highlights the convergence of characters from multiple dimensions, underscoring the expanded scale and storytelling of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.

In addition, the trailer visually brings the series’ multiverse concept to life, showcasing dramatic cross-world encounters and large-scale battle sequences. Scenes of heroes fighting side by side symbolically reflect the game’s animation open world RPG experience, where players can team up to explore Britannia and challenge formidable bosses together.”
So, it sounds like this is really opening up the story of The Seven Deadly Sins, which is pretty cool.
We’ve always maintained that the established heroes and universe in this gacha give it a leg-up on its peers, where new characters need to be introduced and fleshed out.
Remember, this game is launching as a PS5 console exclusive, and it’ll also be available earlier on Sony’s console, from 16th March. The grand launch, including mobile, is planned to roll out a little later, on 23rd March.
Will you be checking this out? From what we’ve played so far, the production values are pretty extraordinary – but there’s an abundance of gacha games on PS5 these days which is making it difficult to play them all.
