The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia Shows Off Budokai Tenkaichi-esque Action

Nanatsu no Taizai (Japanese for Seven Deadly Sins) is gaining popularity, and as with most prominent anime these days, it’s getting a video game adaptation. Bandai Namco just released a trailer for the game, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia, and it’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from video games based on anime shows. But that’s not a bad thing.

Judging from the gameplay trailer, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is going to be a 3D fighter not unlike the Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and Dragonball Z: Xenoverse games. Most of Knights of Britannia will consist of one -on-one or two-vs-two matches between prominent characters in the anime/manga that will take place in large, destructible environments. Since some fights will involve larger characters, the game appears to be balanced so players don’t have too difficult a time fighting against a giant or feel overpowered when playing as a giant. In adventure mode, players need to collect “rumors” by either exploring the game world map or destroying fighting arenas to continue the story (which follows the manga/anime) and obtain all the playable characters. Also, adventure mode will come with side missions that don’t follow the anime/manga’s story and range from collecting objects (probably herbs) to participating in original fights.

As one might expect, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia comes with a duel mode that lets gamers fight against one another in online matches. For the sake of balancing, though, the game’s larger characters will be unavailable in this mode, but that doesn’t stop the duel mode from looking as fast and frantic as the main game. Plus, it will allow gamers to create dream matches between characters who would never team up/fight each other in the anime/manga, which is always a good thing.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is scheduled to release February 9th exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and will eventually receive DLC that continues the anime/manga’s story. Despite what some of you might think, this DLC will be free for all players, which means I have to applaud Bandai Namco for not trying to be as greedy as some other video game publishers who shall remain nameless.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
