LOS ANGELES – AUGUST 20, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, announced a major update for The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (7DS), celebrating the game’s 6.5th Anniversary with a new Festival hero, expanded Four Knights of the Apocalypse content and a variety of limited-time in-game events.
The update is highlighted by the arrival of the new UR hero [Gold-Colored Magic] Knight of the Sun Gawain, one of the Four Knights from the sequel series Four Knights of the Apocalypse. Gawain is designed to strengthen allied Four Knights of the Apocalypse heroes by enhancing their survivability and overall combat performance. She can accumulate damage dealt or received by certain allied heroes to inflict additional damage. When certain allied heroes use their talents, Gawain also gains significant boosts to her attack-related stats and Critical Chance that allows her to unleash powerful attacks.
Players can recruit Gawain through the anniversary Festival Draw. The draw guarantees one UR or SSR hero from the featured lineup at 300 and 600 Mileage, while reaching 900 Mileage rewards players with [Gold-Colored Magic] Knight of the Sun Gawain.
To celebrate the game’s 6.5th Anniversary, players can participate in a variety of special events. Check-in Event #1 and Check-in Event #2 reward players with up to 200 Diamonds and 30 Pickup Tickets over the event period. By completing all 16 missions across Parts 1 and 2 of the Special Mission event, players can recruit all six Four Knights of the Apocalypse heroes, including Percival, Lancelot, Nasiens, Anghalhad, and Varghese. Adventure Guide Fox Sin will be available as the final completion reward.
Additional anniversary events are available such as Wishlist, Essette’s Lucky Event, Boss Extermination Request, Shady Peddler, Solgres Reward Dungeon, Fight Festival Boosting Event, Lucky Bag, and more. Players will have opportunities to earn Wish Keys, Artifact Card Packs, Super Awakening Coins, Anvils, costumes, and various progression materials throughout the celebration.
The update also introduces several in-game improvements, including inventory enhancements, updates to Chaos of Constellations, improved skill-type icons and a new PvE boss trait viewing feature.
