The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, which has garnered significant attention for its collaboration with original creator Nakaba Suzuki, has dropped a surprise announcement regarding a closed beta test alongside a fresh trailer.

Netmarble revealed on the 19th (local time) during the Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live that they are showcasing a new video for their upcoming open-world action RPG, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, while simultaneously opening recruitment for the closed beta. The Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live serves as the grand prelude to the world's largest gaming exhibition.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is based on the anime 'The Seven Deadly Sins', a series that has clocked up over 55 million copies in cumulative global sales. The game follows Tristan, the son of the original protagonists Meliodas and Elizabeth, and is being crafted as a multiverse original story exclusive to the title. Netmarble F&C is currently developing the project with a multi-platform release in mind for PS5, PC, and mobile.

The newly released video is presented by Meliodas, the protagonist of the original series, who guides viewers through the game. It showcases the key characters rendered with significantly upgraded graphics, while depicting the vast open-world 'Britannia continent'—a landscape you can explore from the depths of the water to the open skies. The trailer balances non-combat activities like fishing and puzzles with intense combat encounters against formidable foes such as Albion and the Grey Demon, even teasing adventures utilizing aerial mounts.

At the tail end of the video, the news of the closed beta test was dropped. This test will be open to players worldwide. Recruitment is currently underway via the official brand site, where you simply need to enter your email address and complete a survey to register. Details regarding successful applicants and the specific schedule will be announced at a later date.
