Netmarble Introduces 'Cross: IF' Update For The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross
LOS ANGELES – JULY 27, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, announced the new “Cross: IF” update for The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (7DS). The update introduces two new SSR heroes based on a unique “what if” interpretation of the original anime, alongside the Cross: IF Special Draw, themed events, and a variety of new content and gameplay improvements.
The highlight of the update is the debut of two new SSR heroes: [A Twisted World] Another Meliodas and [A Twisted World] Another Ban. Inspired by the concept of an alternate world in which the original anime's iconic characters took on different roles, the two heroes offer unique abilities while synergizing with both their respective races and The Seven Deadly Sins. Another Meliodas reduces damage taken based on increases to enemies' damage dealt and weakens enemies while strengthening allies whenever enemies use Attack Skills. Another Ban weakens marked enemies and, upon stealing their Ultimate Move Gauge, strengthens both herself and her allies.
Players can recruit the new heroes through the Cross: IF Special Selection Draw. Players can obtain 10 Cross: IF Special Selection Draw Tickets at both 150 and 450 Mileage. At 300 Mileage, players will receive one random SSR hero. At 600 Mileage, players can select one of the two featured heroes, while at 1,200 Mileage they can choose one hero from the special selection lineup.
To celebrate the update, Netmarble is hosting a variety of in-game events. The Cross: IF Check-In Event offers up to 70 Diamonds over 14 days, while Cross: IF Special Missions Part 1 and Part 2 reward players with Artifact Cards, growth materials and Hawk's Secret Boxes. Players can also participate in the Cross: IF Event Buff “A Twisted World,” where accumulated points can be exchanged for selectable buffs that provide various gameplay benefits, including increased content rewards, Event Boss Battle buffs and reduced stamina consumption in Demonic Beast Battles.
Additional seasonal content includes the summer-themed World Event, "Shaved Ice, Please!," where players can complete story quests to earn various growth materials. The returning Event Boss Parade also makes its return, featuring Giant Hawk and Cath in rotation while offering clear rewards and exchange rewards. Players can also enjoy Hawk's Dreamland Adventure, an idle event where Hawk automatically progresses through adventures, defeats monsters and earns event currency that can be exchanged for various growth materials.
The update also introduces Season 10 of Liones Defensive War, featuring new Hidden Rounds, Hidden Boss Rounds and support for LR Evolution. In addition, the Patrol system has been revamped with improved visuals and reward structures based on hero progression and team composition.
Various game improvements have also been implemented, including the ability to view battle strategy information during combat, increased inventory limits for cooking items and ingredients, new magic site effects for Competition, and improvements to the Sacred Treasure Shop, including a character rotation feature.
