Netmarble F&C announced on the 19th that it has halted the development of the new title 'Demi's Ribbon' and is focusing on the development of 'Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.'
According to the gaming industry on this day, Seo Woo-won, CEO of Netmarble F&C, sent an email to employees informing them of the project suspension the previous afternoon.
CEO Seo noted, "We made the unavoidable decision to halt development on Demi's Ribbon. Despite the dedication of the Demi's Ribbon development team to the project's success, I made this decision due to my lack of clarity on the core gameplay and development direction."
He continued, "The Demi's Ribbon development team will move to work on our biggest task, the success of 'Seven Deadly Sins: Origin,' as well as 'Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross' and the 'Seven Deadly Sins: Growth' team, and I will strive to make this company one where we can once again walk around smiling with the successful launch of 'Seven Deadly Sins: Origin' this year."
'Demi's Ribbon,' which was showcased as an entry in the 2023 G-STAR, is a collection-type role-playing game (RPG) featuring anime-style characters and a unique worldview, with a goal of release within the year. However, as a reexamination of the development direction for Demi's Ribbon took place, the production team was downsized, ultimately leading to the decision to suspend the project.
Netmarble F&C's strategy is to focus on the development of the open-world RPG 'Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.' 'Seven Deadly Sins: Origin' is scheduled for simultaneous release on mobile, PC, and console platforms within the year, and marketing is planned to be conducted on the PlayStation platform through collaboration with Sony.
