Netmarble has officially kicked off the 0.5-year festival for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.

The update introduces Ban, a member of The Seven Deadly Sins, as a brand new hero, alongside a fresh region named 'Ravens', a new main story, weekly content titled 'Labyrinth', and a novel progression system.

Ban embodies the 'Fox Sin of Greed' and leverages the unique magic power 'Snatch' to pilfer the strength or belongings of opponents. In the game, the character deploys a three-section staff, a greatsword, and gauntlets to execute a diverse repertoire of combat styles. With the arrival of Ban, all seven heroes making up the original The Seven Deadly Sins have finally assembled in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.

Act 16 of the main story, set against the backdrop of the new region 'Ravens', has also been unveiled. Within the lawless city of Ravens, plagued by crime and bandits, a high-stakes pursuit surrounding the fragment of stars unfolds alongside the narratives of Ban and various other figures.

On September 2, fresh weekly content named 'Labyrinth' joins the fray. This content allows players to enjoy utilising a variety of heroes regardless of their progression level. Players can strategically combine heroes based on choices given each round, experiencing a playthrough that shifts with every new challenge. A brand new growth system dubbed 'Transcendent Smelting', a new boss named 'Indura Monspeet', and the very first highest difficulty setting 'Transcendence' have also been introduced.

New and returning player perks alongside quality-of-life features have received a solid boost. Early tutorial skipping and an auto-progress feature for the main story up to Chapter 1 have been added, while the fan-favourite hero 'SSR Meliodas' is now guaranteed at a 100% drop rate upon the first summon following the completion of the tutorial.

The 0.5-year festival is in full swing as well. Through the 'Spin, Orb of Greed' event, a staggering total of 500 million star fragments are being distributed, and by completing daily missions and joining the event, players can net up to 30,000 star fragments in a single go.

The very first questionnaire summon for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is also underway. User voting runs from August 26 to September 2, and the three heroes clinching the most votes will debut in the questionnaire summon lineup on September 16. On top of that, events like a small gift from The Seven Deadly Sins, a 0.5-year reward selection attendance event, she has returned, and Crossroad of Spacetime Season 2 are rolling out.
