As per the press release, the game is not just doing well in one corner of the shopfront either.

Strong start on Steam and PS5

An open-world take on The Seven Deadly Sins
Based on the hugely popular The Seven Deadly Sins manga and anime IP, which the press release says has sold more than 55 million copies globally, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin lets players explore Britannia in a large open world.
The game features tag-based combat, combination skills, and customisable teams built from a range of characters and weapons. Multiplayer options are also part of the package, with players able to form parties for exploration or team up to take down bosses.
So yes, it is very much aiming to be a broad, busy action RPG spin on the series, with enough systems and character options to keep fans tinkering.
