January is usually a quiet month for big game releases. While fans of relaxing games might not notice (with updates like Animal Crossing 3.0 and Cozy Caravan available), there aren’t many huge new role-playing games coming out. Now, one of the month’s more anticipated open-world titles, The Seven Deadly Sins Origin, has been delayed. Originally planned for January 28th, this free-to-play anime RPG will now launch in March.
News about the game’s delay was announced in a recent post on the official Seven Deadly Sins Origin website. Netmarble’s PD Koo explained the reasons for the delay and detailed a number of improvements the development team is planning before relaunching the game. While a specific release date wasn’t given, The Seven Deadly Sins Origin is now scheduled to launch in March 2026.
The Seven Deadly Sins Origin Pushed Back to March As Devs Respond to Beta Test Feedback
The main reason for the delay appears to be feedback gathered from a closed beta test in November 2025. While players generally liked the story and combat, the amount of suggested improvements led the development team to take a closer look. They then decided to postpone the launch to allow more time to refine The Seven Deadly Sins Origin before its release.
Netmarble has shared details about planned improvements for The Seven Deadly Sins Origin before its official release. The development team is focusing on three main areas: how the game is controlled, the combat system, and the user interface. Feedback from beta testers indicated that the controls didn’t feel smooth or easy to use, combat was too challenging, and the menus were overly complicated. Netmarble is now working to refine these key elements to create a better player experience.
Beyond these major upgrades, Netmarble is making exploration in Britannia much smoother. They’re simplifying controls, providing clearer directions for quests, and adding ways to quickly regain health and collect resources.
This is a surprisingly thorough and honest explanation for a game delay. Netmarble clearly has a solid plan for how the extra time will be used to make the game even better. You can find a complete breakdown of player feedback and the planned improvements in their detailed developer notes.
Based on the hit anime series, The Seven Deadly Sins Origin is a free-to-play open-world RPG coming to PC and mobile. Originally planned for release in January 2024, the game is now scheduled to launch in March 2026.
