Netmarble's mobile role-playing game (RPG) The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross reentered the upper ranks of overseas app store sales following an update.

According to Mobile Index on the 1st, The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross ranked No. 4 in sales on Japan's Apple App Store (iOS) after the 7th-anniversary update. Compared with the week before the update, daily users across all regions increased by 72%.

New content focused on faithfully recreating the original work is cited as the reason for the positive user response. The newly added " Irreconcilable Foe Meliodas" recreates the final battle scene with the Demon King with high-quality direction. In addition, a 7th-anniversary commemorative PV featuring a newly arranged version of the anime insert song "Perfect Time," created in collaboration with lead voice actor Kaji Yuki, was released.

A large-scale reward event for new and returning users is also underway. Through the "777 Relay Campaign," now in its sixth round, new users receive up to 777 diamonds. Voice actor "Kaji Yuki" will also personally draw winners for a UR hero selection ticket—offered as a reward—that includes the highly favored "UR Oath of Twilight Merlin & Escanor."

In addition, Netmarble plans to produce and distribute via an event a "7th-anniversary special goods artbook" featuring high-definition illustrations and in-game cutscenes to mark the game's seventh year of service.

An industry official said, "It is an unusual achievement for a mobile game in its seventh year since launch to reenter the top tier of sales and set new records in user metrics."
