The Seven Deadly Sins gets major update for 6.5th year anniversary

The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross is getting a major shake-up, as the developer Netmarble celebrates the six and a half year anniversary of the game’s launch.

With the celebrations in mind, a range of anniversary events have been introduced to the new ‘6.5th Apocalypse Fes: Succession of Light and Darkness’ alongside fresh story content and a brand-new hero.

One of the most substantial changes is the addition of Prophecy Knight Tristan, who you’ll recognise as the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth if you played the original The Seven Deadly Sins series. Tristan is one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse and wields both Goddess and Demon powers, meaning he becomes the first hero in the game to have both Light and Darkness attributes at the same time.

Chapter 4 of ‘The Four Knights of the Apocalypse’ has been released, as well as a PvE Co-op Battle mode where up to four players can team up with two decks each.

What’s new in The Seven Deadly Sins?

To celebrate the anniversary of its launch, a ‘Poll Draw’ means players can vote for their favorite heroes and create a custom lineup featuring Tristan as a fixed UR plus five additional UR heroes, as well as 15 SSR heroes selected from the finalists of the poll.

“Players are guaranteed an SSR or UR hero at 300 and 600 mileage, and upon reaching 900 mileage, they can choose either the newest Tristan or one of the top four UR heroes from the poll rankings,” Netmarble says in the update.

Anniversary-specific events have been added, too, including Festival Check-In, Special Missions, Jumping Box, and Event Boss Battles. It’s through participating in the Jumping Box event that players can gain access to abundant growth materials and fully trained heroes.

Other anniversary activities include the Percival’s Lucky Card Event, Solgres Reward Dungeon, Diamond Perks Event, and boosted Fight Festival rewards.

Since its launch, The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross has recorded over 70 million downloads worldwide, and it’s only available via App Store and Google Play.
