Netmarble is kicking off the New Year with a fresh update for its mobile RPG, The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, alongside a '777 Relay Campaign'. The highlight here is the arrival of the new UR-grade dual hero, 'Twilight Oath Merlin & Escanor'. This duo packs quite a punch; they deal bonus damage to remaining foes after clearing a single target, and they grow stronger in both attack and HP whenever they take down an enemy or lose an ally on the battlefield.

Then there is the '777 Relay Campaign'. Spanning seven months leading up to June 2026, this marathon is celebrating the game's 7th anniversary with a sequence of seven distinct perks. You are looking at 100 Diamonds, double summoning mileage, 100-try retry summons, and special coupons. Keep an eye on the official site, as they plan to drop fresh benefits every single month.

Naturally, there is a pile of celebratory events to keep you busy. A 28-day attendance event is live, offering a potential windfall of up to 300 Diamonds. Starting January 1, 2026, the 'Liones Royal Attendance Event' begins, giving you a chance to snag the first-ever UR-grade hero, 'End of an Era Demon King Meliodas', complete with a special costume.

If you fancy testing your luck, the 'Lucky Spin' event lets you earn up to 2,000 Diamonds, Super Awakening Coins, and Anvils just by completing daily missions. Meanwhile, the 'New Year 2026 Special Mission' set features nine tasks that reward you with pick-up tickets and growth materials. Finish the whole lot, and you will walk away with the 'Guide of the Journey Fox God' as a grand prize.

For those who prefer a bit of combat, an event raid is open where you must clear monster-filled tiles to take down the boss and claim a Meliodas costume designed by the original creator, Nakaba Suzuki, along with various growth items. To round things off, the studio is running a 'Boss Parade' featuring four event bosses, the 'Grand Mage Merlin' cumulative score event, and a daily 'Big Reward Dungeon' for good measure. Best of luck with your rolls!
