Netmarble has announced the remarkable resurgence of its flagship mobile RPG, *The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross*, following its highly anticipated seventh-anniversary update. This achievement underscores the game’s enduring popularity and strong appeal within the global mobile gaming market.
According to data from Mobile Index, the acclaimed title soared to No. 4 on Japan’s competitive Apple App Store revenue rankings immediately after the anniversary content release. This impressive financial performance was mirrored by a significant surge in player engagement, with daily active users (DAU) across all regions jumping by an impressive 72 percent compared to the previous week. This momentum was further amplified by recent successful collaboration events and a robust pre-anniversary promotional campaign.
Players have enthusiastically embraced the new content, particularly praising its faithful recreation of iconic scenes from the original *The Seven Deadly Sins* anime series. The newly introduced Meliodas character has garnered widespread acclaim for its powerful skills and the inclusion of high-quality, cinematic cutscenes that perfectly capture pivotal moments from the beloved series, enhancing the immersive experience for fans.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, a special anniversary video deeply resonated with the community. Featuring a newly arranged version of the anime’s popular soundtrack, “Perfect Time,” produced in collaboration with renowned voice actor Yuki Kaji, the video successfully evoked nostalgia and strengthened player connection to the game’s rich lore.
The anniversary update also comes packed with generous rewards designed to welcome both new adventurers and returning heroes. Through the exclusive “777 Relay Campaign,” players can earn up to 777 diamonds and a coveted selection ticket for an Ultra Rare hero, significantly boosting their in-game power. Furthermore, special festival events are offering up to 100 free summons daily, alongside a plethora of additional in-game rewards, making it an opportune time to play.
To commemorate this significant milestone, Netmarble is also planning to distribute a special commemorative art book. This exquisite book will feature high-resolution illustrations and stunning in-game cutscenes, available through upcoming promotional events, offering fans a unique collectible item.
“It is exceptionally rare for a mobile game in its seventh year of service to re-enter the top-grossing rankings while simultaneously setting new user engagement records,” noted an industry official. “The consistent ability of *The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross* to deliver content that truly connects with fans of the original series has forged a powerful synergy, establishing it as a prime example for successful, long-term live-service game management.”
