It seems like we’re getting one of these every few months, but the world of mobile action RPGs that look like the games that, just a few years back, were only possible on consoles is expanding with another new entry.
Netmarble, a studio and publisher known for its free-to-play games on mobile and PC, recently unveiled the launch date for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, its next major release that’s very much coming for the Genshin Impact crowd.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an open-world action RPG based on the world of The Seven Deadly Sins anime and manga. The game takes place in the world of Britannia, which looks similar to the way it does in the anime.
That said, the story of the game is not based on the anime or manga, Instead, it’s an original story set in the universe of the show. You play as Prince Tristan of the Kingdom of Liones who must find a way to bring order back to Britannia.
The gameplay should be familiar to anyone who played a free-to-play action RPG in the last decade. It features action combat, a roster of diverse heroes that you assemble to form teams, and a large pretty world to explore where you’ll also get to meet new characters.
Speaking of which, while Origin has its own original story, expect to be teaming up with characters from the series – some of whom wouldn’t be able to meet naturally. You can thank the game’s multiversal story for that.

Beyond all the serious business of saving the world and battling monsters, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin also has a cozy, relaxing side. You’ll be able to fish, cook, forage and take on the beauty of the world with your pals.
The game has a bit of an unusual release schedule. It’s set to arrive on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android. PC (Steam), and PS5 players will be able to jump in starting March 16, whereas the global mobile launch is scheduled for one week later, on March 23.
You can pre-register right now on the official website if you’re interested in earning a few rewards when the game launches. You can, of course, always wishlist the game on Steam and the PlayStation Store, too.
