Netmarble (CEO Kim Byung-kyu) announced that its open-world RPG ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin’ (developed by Netmarble F&C), released in March, has topped the free-to-play charts on the PlayStation Store in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia.
Notably, ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin’ is the only Korean game to rank in the top tier of the North American free-to-play charts, where it is followed by Fortnite at No. 2 and Roblox at No. 3. In Asia, the game also secured the No. 1 spot, followed by ‘Where Winds Meet’ at No. 2 and ‘Delta Force’ at No. 3.
The game has also seen strong performance on the PC platform Steam, reaching significant rankings on bestseller charts in major regions, including No. 1 in France, No. 3 in Belgium, Italy, and Japan, No. 4 in South Korea and Germany, and No. 7 in Brazil.
Netmarble rolled out the first update for ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin’ on April 8. This update introduces ‘Daisy,’ a mysterious figure involved in the creation of the ‘Book of Stars,’ as a new hero. Daisy is an original character not found in the source material; she is a fairy from the distant past who has crafted mysterious artifacts alongside explorers of various races.
As an SSR-grade hero, Daisy is a versatile character specialized in crafting content, possessing an adventure skill that expands the slots of portable crafting tables.
Along with this, a new ‘Abyss’ difficulty level has been added to boss dungeons. The ‘Abyss’ difficulty is designed around a combat structure that requires players to exploit the boss’ elemental weaknesses, necessitating strategic hero combinations that leverage elemental burst effects. This provides players with higher growth goals and the thrill of strategic combat.
To celebrate the No. 1 ranking on the PlayStation Store and the new update, Netmarble is gifting all players an ‘SSR Permanent Hero Selection Ticket.’ This item allows players to choose one hero from a pool including Elaine, King, Guila, Jericho, Manny, Drake, and Diane. Various other rewards and benefits, such as hero growth materials, have also been prepared.
‘The Seven Deadly Sins= Origin’ is an open-world action RPG based on the popular manga ‘The Seven Deadly Sins,’ which has recorded over 55 million copies in cumulative global sales. The game features high-quality graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, a high degree of exploration freedom, and dynamic combat, and supports cross-platform play across PC, mobile, and console.
