Netmarble launches The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross 7th anniversary update

Netmarble’s seventh-anniversary push for The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross is built around value, not just nostalgia. The Grand Cross 7th Anniversary Legend Festival: Perfect 7 update went live on May 21, 2026, and it put [The Seven Deadly Sins] Nemesis Meliodas at the center of a package that also includes 77 Diamonds, a UR Hero Selection Ticket, and a clear route for players chasing the new UR.

Nemesis Meliodas is more than a banner face. Netmarble tied the character to Meliodas’ Nemesis combined attack from the final battle against the Demon King in the anime, and the combat design gives him a dual role that should matter to anyone weighing a comeback pull. When his Talent activates, he can enter Assault Mode for one turn and burst out explosive damage. When it is not active, he shifts into a defensive stance with Trillion Revenge, cutting incoming damage and letting him counter instead of simply folding under pressure.

The anniversary banner structure leans hard into gacha utility. The 7th Anniversary Legend Poll Draw features seven UR heroes and 39 SSR heroes chosen through community voting, with mileage rewards that start paying off at 300 and 600, where players can guarantee a UR or SSR hero. At 777 mileage, the choice opens to one LR hero or a Legendary Seal, and at 900 mileage, Nemesis Meliodas becomes available. That makes the banner feel engineered for both collectors and players who want a concrete target rather than a blind anniversary gamble.

The rest of the update backs up that pitch with a wide event slate. Netmarble added Chapter 5 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse, the Happy 7th Anniversary World Event, a 77-floor Tower of Trials, and Supreme Deity Battle. The anniversary rewards also spread across Check-In Events with 300 Diamonds, Special Missions, Jumping Box rewards, Event Boss Parade, Artifact Wish Draw, Diamond Payback Event, and the Solgres Grand Rewards Dungeon. A new My Sweet Gluttony infographic lets players review gameplay history and achievements, which gives returning users a quick way to see how far their account has come.

The anniversary rollout was not a one-day splash. Netmarble kept the 777 Relay Campaign running, released a commemorative PV, and paired the soundtrack drop Perfect Time with Soyogi Soyogi, a collaboration tied to Yuki Kaji’s voice work. Forum notices also showed the Festival Poll Draw running from May 14, 2026, 1:00 AM PDT to May 17, 2026, 7:59 AM PDT, with Korea, Japan, and Global votes combined. For lapsed players deciding whether the seventh anniversary is worth the return, this is the kind of event stack that makes the answer easy: the game is not just celebrating, it is handing out a real reason to come back.
