New Hero [Enigmatic Helper] Clotho, Limited-Time Events and Various Content Also Added

LOS ANGELES – MAY 21, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a new update for its anime open world RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, introducing enhanced accessibility features for players who are blind or have low vision, alongside limited-time events and new content.

The accessibility improvements were inspired by feedback from a player in Japan, who sent a heartfelt letter written in braille and text. In the letter, the player shared that he was able to enjoy the world of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin through sound, including fully voiced characters, background music, and environmental audio, while also suggesting that audio guidance for object locations and directions would further enhance open-world exploration. 

The development team responded by introducing a dedicated sound accessibility option. When enabled, the feature provides enhanced audio cues for low HP status, treasure chest discovery, and more that helps players better understand their surroundings during exploration and combat. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin also plans to further improve accessibility with directional guidance for key objects such as main quests, sub quests, gathering points, and treasure chests.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin has also received various messages of support from players around the world. A player in the United States sent a letter that shares their deep appreciation for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and praises how the game allows the “player” to become the protagonist and directly experience the stories and challenges of its characters.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin introduced the new hero [Enigmatic Helper] Clotho on May 13. Clotho is an original hero unique to the game and features Wind and Cold attributes.

From May 21 through June 4, the game will run the new event dungeon “Temple of Love.” This story-based event begins through NPC Turan and unfolds through sequential quests over seven days. Players can earn limited-time titles, accessories, Regular Hero Draw Tickets, and other rewards through the event.

Additional events include a solo record-based challenge for dungeons, field bosses, and Timespace Junction. Players can earn event currency and exchange it for rewards such as Brilliant Engraving Seal and SSR Magic Crystal Shard. A cumulative mission event based on Cube Key usage will be available as well that offer various rewards based on the number of Cube Keys used.

The update opens the Ranking Board Pre-Season, covering Field Bosses, Boss Challenges, Dungeons, and Timespace Junction, while Timespace Junction Season I continues with new seasonal rewards, first-clear rewards, star-grade rewards, and SSR growth and engraving-related items.

Based on the hit Japanese manga and anime IP The Seven Deadly Sins, which has sold over 55 million copies globally, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin lets players explore Britannia in a vast open world. It features tag-based combat, combination skills, and customizable teams using diverse characters and weapons. Multiplayer elements include forming parties for exploration or teaming up to defeat bosses.

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND – May 21st, 2026 – Unclear Games is proud to share the latest details for its upcoming survival horror game The Florist. The world premiere of the “Gardens of Death” trailer is available now, showcasing new enemies, weapons and levels. The Florist is officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with final release information coming later in 2026.

• Steam Page – https://store.steampowered.com/app/3152440/The_Florist/
• PlayStation Store Page – https://store.playstation.com/concept/10015248/

The Florist tells the story of Jessica Park, who arrives in the lakeside town of Joycliffe to make a last-minute delivery. Her timing sparks disaster as the town quickly descends into a deadly fight for survival against omnipresent floral overgrowth. Solve ingenious puzzles, defeat horrifying enemies, and uncover a mysterious plan to create new life in the most inhuman way imaginable.

Trailer Details

In the Gardens of Death gameplay trailer, several secrets are hidden within the overgrowth. Jessica is seen fighting in close quarters with enemies known as Seeds, who are tragic victims of a deadly floral affliction. No longer alive, their bodies are controlled by organic growth which instinctually move to attack and draw nutrients from living organisms. Jessica can escape or deal enough physical damage using the Catclaw Revolver or Rosetta Shotgun. But firearms can only go so far against the enemies she has yet to encounter, and there are further hints in the trailer of unique weapons to cause rapid destruction of the deadliest flowers.

Who is The Harvester?

A hulking presence found in Joycliffe, The Harvester carries a bloodstained sack filled with unspeakable horrors, and is laser-focused on finding something years in the making. Jessica must stay one step ahead, unravel the mystery behind the outbreak, and put a stop to his mission in the garden of death. Unfortunately, The Harvester is far from the most dangerous enemy in The Florist. Unclear Games is an independent game development studio based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Barrel through swarms, collect valuable resources, and conquer the Arena!

Vancouver, British Columbia, May 21st, 2026: Buffalo Buffalo is excited to announce their newest project, Re:Rite, with a brand new cinematic reveal trailer at SixOneIndie Showcase. Re:Rite is a chaotic PvE game where you physically grow throughout a match, scheduled for release later this year. 

Transform from a tiny, scrappy survivor into a skyscraper-sized Kaiju, as you fight through swarms of enemies in this chaotic PvE game.

Play how you like, whether it’s growing quickly to dominate the playing field or using your tiny size to your advantage, your goal is simple: defeat swarms of enemies and earn Bloom to crack through the giant crystal cocoons hiding bosses across the map. 

Crash into the world of Re:Rite

After the miracle resource Lithium-16 turned Earth into a utopian playground, the wells began to dry. Now the Seeds, a small cast of delightfully unhinged survivors, must relinquish their human form to defeat enemies and collect the last living veins of Lithium-16 hiding in the Chrysalis (and maybe release something even more sinister).

Seamlessly switch between melee and ranged combat.

Arm yourself with both ranged and melee weapons before you jump into the fray, switching your combat style as you go! Whether you’re a lover of close quarters hack-and-slash combat or you want to decimate the field with bullet hell-like ranged weapons, taking back control of the battlefield is a matter of strategy and your will to rewrite your every decision.

Rewrite your next battle with Shells, Seeds, and two weapons of your choice.

Each run comes with the ability to customize your build down to the finest details. Shells offer unique dash abilities, Seeds offer buffs to your next run, and you can choose both a unique melee and a ranged weapon for every battle.

Enjoy modulated proximity chat with up to 3 friends!

Team up with friends to battle hordes of enemies together or take up your weapons against one another in PvPvE mode. Modulated Proximity Chat offers another level to the growing and shrinking mechanic, with voices modulated to your dynamic size. Laugh along with your fellow players as your voice goes from squeaky mouse to thundering monster!

Features: 

• Fight against swarms of enemies and battle through mini-bosses spread across the map
• Play solo or with friends in online multiplayer
• Seamlessly switch between melee and ranged combat
• Grow to enormous Kaiju throughout the battle or shrink strategically back down to slip past enemies
• Choose from 4 different mechs, dozens of weapons, and customize every jump into the arena
• Coordinate with friends with modulated proximity chat – where your voice will change depending on your size
