《七大罪：起源》是由網石遊戲（Netmarble）開發的開放世界動漫RPG，承襲知名漫畫與動畫《七大罪》的世界觀，並作為全球下載量超過7,000萬次的手機RPG《七大罪：光與暗之交戰》的正統續作。以原創的「多元宇宙」故事為背景，聚焦於《七大罪》主角梅里奧達斯與伊麗莎白的兒子──里昂尼斯王子崔斯坦，帶領玩家踏上一場穿梭時空、重塑布里塔尼亞大陸秩序的壯闊冒險。於2025年在 PlayStation 5、PC（Steam）、iOS與Android平台推出。

在劇情方面，核心設定圍繞時空錯亂所引發的混亂，布里塔尼亞大陸陷入前所未有的危機。崔斯坦將與「七大罪」與「啟示錄四騎士」的英雄們相遇，並透過收集「星星碎片」逐步揭開世界動盪的真相。故事中出現神祕的吊墜與能連結無數時間線的『星之書』，其蘊藏的力量不僅關乎大陸的未來，也牽動著多重時空的命運。隨著冒險深入，將逐步探索與起源之謎緊密相關的真相，體驗一段結合友情、戰鬥與選擇的全新篇章。

在操作與玩法設計上，全面強化探索與自由度，能暢遊整個布里塔尼亞大陸，進行狩獵、採集、水下探索、烹飪等多樣化活動，享受生活化與沉浸式的開放世界體驗。戰鬥系統則以四人小隊為核心，根據戰況自由切換角色，並透過組合英雄與武器來創造獨特的戰鬥風格。每位英雄皆可配備三種武器中的一種，技能與必殺技將依照武器類型而有所不同。例如，崔斯坦若配備雙劍，可以打出高速連擊並施展從天墜下流星的必殺技；若配備大劍，則能發動更具破壞力但動作較慢的重擊，並施展直線斬擊、擊退敵人的必殺技。這樣的設計讓戰鬥充滿策略性與多變性，同時帶給玩家暢快的打擊感。

在市場評價方面，自封閉測試預告公開以來，便吸引大量粉絲與玩家的關注。無論是原作愛好者，還是喜愛開放世界RPG的玩家，都對其高度自由的探索體驗與深度戰鬥機制表現出濃厚興趣。尤其是動畫原作的劇情氛圍結合原創多元宇宙新篇章，更讓玩家期待遊戲能帶來超越前作的沉浸感。從精細的場景設計到角色動作的細節，製作團隊投入的心血展現對玩家體驗的重視，使《七大罪：起源》被視為2025年度最具話題性與期待度的動漫改編大作之一。

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an open-world anime RPG developed by Netmarble, building upon the world of the renowned manga and anime The Seven Deadly Sins. It serves as the official sequel to the hit mobile RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, which has surpassed 70 million downloads worldwide. Featuring an original “multiverse” storyline, the game centers on Tristan, the prince of Liones and the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, leading players on an epic adventure through time and space to restore order to the chaotic continent of Britannia. The game is set to launch in 2025 on PlayStation 5, PC (Steam), iOS, and Android.

In terms of story, the narrative revolves around the chaos caused by distortions in time and space, plunging Britannia into unprecedented crisis. Tristan encounters heroes from both The Seven Deadly Sins and The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, gradually uncovering the truth behind the turmoil by collecting “Star Fragments.” The plot introduces a mysterious pendant and the Book of Stars, an artifact capable of linking countless timelines, whose immense power not only determines Britannia’s future but also the fate of multiple worlds. As the adventure deepens, players uncover secrets tied to the origin of this chaos, experiencing a saga that blends friendship, combat, and choice.

Gameplay emphasizes freedom and exploration, allowing players to roam across the vast continent of Britannia and engage in diverse activities such as hunting, gathering, underwater exploration, and cooking, offering a life-like, immersive open-world experience. Combat is built around four-character parties, with the ability to freely switch between members depending on the situation. Players can mix and match heroes and weapons to craft unique combat styles. Each hero can equip one of three weapon types, with their skills and ultimate moves varying by weapon. For example, when Tristan wields dual swords, he can unleash rapid combos and a meteor-fall ultimate, while equipping a greatsword grants slower but devastating strikes and a linear cleaving ultimate that knocks enemies back. This design infuses battles with both strategy and intensity, while delivering exhilarating action.

In terms of reception, since the closed beta trailer was revealed, the game has drawn immense attention from fans and RPG enthusiasts alike. Both long-time followers of the anime and those who enjoy open-world RPGs have expressed excitement for its rich exploration and deep combat mechanics. The combination of the beloved series’ atmosphere with an original multiverse storyline has heightened anticipation, with many expecting a more immersive experience than its predecessor. From the detailed world design to the finely tuned character animations, the development team’s dedication is clear, making The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin one of the most highly anticipated anime-based RPGs of 2025.
