PS4 game also gets U.S. release in early 2018

Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming the opening video for its The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia (Nanatsu no Taizai: Britannia no Tabibito) PlayStation 4 game on Monday. The video reveals the game's January 25 release in Japan.

Bandai Namco Entertainment America will release the game in the United States in early 2018.

Natsume Atari is developing the action adventure game. Bandai Namco Entertainment America's release of the game will include subtitles in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German.

Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed the game has a "high-tension and fast-paced action fighting style" where players can "experience an enticing story line and plenty of places in Britannia to explore." Players will be able to "play through memorable fights with famous characters such as Meliodas, Elizabeth, Hawk, and others in all of their unique fighting styles."

The manga previously inspired the Nanatsu no Taizai: Unjust Sin Nintendo 3DS game in February 2015, and the Nanatsu no Taizai: Pocket no Naka no Kishidan smartphone game in January 2015. The smartphone game ended service in March.
