Origin PS5 features detailed, launches March 16 – PlayStation.Blog

The anime-inspired open-world RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin launches March 16 on PlayStation 5. Ahead of release, we’ve unveiled a brand-new Immersion Trailer that highlights how the game leverages PS5 features to deliver a deeply tactile and responsive experience.

This latest trailer goes beyond simply showcasing the world. By actively utilizing the unique capabilities of PlayStation 5, the game is designed so players don’t just see Britannia. They feel it, react to it, and move within it. Freely explore the vast, faithfully recreated world of Britannia, and experience a heightened sense of realism through nuanced haptic feedback and precise control that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped directly into the anime itself.

Every action comes alive at your fingertips

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin features finely tuned haptic feedback through the DualSense wireless controller, physically conveying the tension of battle and the weight of every strike.

Dynamic combat responses

Distinct vibration patterns are applied to key combat actions, including character switching, combination jump attacks, and powerful ultimate abilities. The impact of strikes, explosive skill effects, and the urgency of taking damage are each expressed through unique rhythms that bring the battlefield’s momentum to life in your hands.

Weapon-specific tactile differentiation

Vibration intensity and patterns vary according to weapon concepts and skill visuals. Beyond visual differences, players can physically sense shifts in combat style, adding a new layer of immersion to every encounter.

Controls you can truly feel

The DualSense adaptive triggers enhance both exploration and combat with intuitive, situational resistance. Pressing a button becomes part of the experience itself.

Fishing activities

When a fish bites, trigger resistance changes instantly. The increasing tension heightens excitement and clearly distinguishes success from failure through tactile feedback.

Charged attack skills

Certain adventure skills build power based on trigger pressure. Gradually increasing resistance creates the sensation of energy gathering before release, amplifying the satisfaction of unleashing powerful abilities.

Mounted weapon operation

When controlling cannons or ballistae, players feel heavy trigger resistance that conveys the force of large-scale weaponry. The moment of release delivers a strong, satisfying recoil that reinforces the impact of each shot.

Step into the anime world

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is more than an adaptation. It is designed to let players step directly into the anime universe.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, the seamless open world stretches uninterrupted from the royal capital of Liones to sweeping plains and ancient ruins. Lighting shifts, dynamic weather, environmental depth, and dense combat effects are all elevated by the power of PS5 hardware.

Players are no longer just watching the anime unfold — they are moving within it, making choices, and forging their own path through Britannia.

Strategic depth that elevates combat

Players assemble a team of four heroes and can switch between them in real time during battle to adapt to changing situations.

Skills and combination abilities evolve based on hero and weapon pairings
Three weapon selection paths shape distinct combat styles
A tactical structure that rewards sharp decision-making

Combined with the DualSense feedback system, combat goes beyond action alone — delivering a tactical experience where sensation and strategy operate simultaneously.

Deep solo play, even more intense together

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin naturally bridges immersive single-player progression with strategic cooperative play.

Seamless co-op storytelling

Main and side quests can be completed in a party. Players can join based on the party leader’s progression, enabling cooperative adventures without friction.

Co-op focused dungeon challenges

Multiplayer dungeons feature elemental mechanics that require coordination between players with different abilities. Smart role distribution and strategic responses determine success or failure.

Explore the world at your own pace — and when greater challenges arise, join forces with allies to overcome them together.
