Players will be able to traverse the map in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin on foot or by mounting animals. Yes, this means you’ll be able to fly if you find a ride strong enough to hold you. There will also be a strong layer of verticality in the map, which is something that always enriches open-world RPGs.
The game also includes survival elements like fishing and cooking, adding an extra layer of vibrancy to the world, so you may enjoy a nice idyllic break after the epic battles showcased in the trailer.
