Another update, another promise to "save for the next banner." Then Gowther shows up in a flashy teaser, and suddenly those Diamonds start looking a lot less safe. Version 1.7 is almost here, and Gowther is already stealing the spotlight.

In this guide, we'll cover everything officially confirmed about the The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Version 1.7 banner, including release date, Gowther's profile, gameplay preview and possible combat role.

Version 1.7 Release Date

Version 1.7 will officially release on July 15, 2026, following the scheduled maintenance.

If previous update cycles continue, the update is expected to remain available until August 5, 2026, although the end date has not been officially confirmed.

 

Version 1.7 Banner

Gowther is expected to become the next playable hero in Version 1.7. While Netmarble has only teased his arrival through the Blackout ability, the latest preview has already sparked plenty of discussion among players.

Who Is Gowther?

Attribute	Information
Alias	Goat's Sin of Lust
Affiliation	Seven Deadly Sins
Race	Doll
Gender	Male
Release	Version 1.7 (July 15, 2026)

Gowther is known as the Goat's Sin of Lust, one of the legendary members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

According to his backstory, he earned the Sin of Lust after removing the heart of his deceased lover and attempting to replace it with his own magical heart. Unlike the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins, Gowther is a magical Doll, giving him a unique perspective on both combat and human emotions.

Based on the latest gameplay footage, players believe Gowther could have access to multiple elemental builds. Gowther may have Darkness, Lightning, or Cold (Ice) elemental builds. However, these elements are purely speculative and have not been officially confirmed by Netmarble.

Gowther Gameplay

Although Netmarble has yet to reveal Gowther's complete skill kit, the latest gameplay teaser offers a first look at his combat animations. Much of the information below is based on the preview footage and community analysis, so it should be considered speculation unless otherwise stated.

The only ability officially teased so far is Blackout.

During the Version 1.7 preview, Gowther performs a fast dash before launching into an aerial attack and finishing with a dramatic downward strike. While the sequence showcases one of his signature animations, Netmarble has not explained exactly how Blackout works in gameplay.

Whether this animation represents a normal skill, Ultimate, or another special ability remains unknown.

Multiple Weapon Styles

Community analysis of the gameplay trailer suggests Gowther may use multiple combat styles depending on the weapon currently equipped.

The preview shows several distinct attack animations, leading players to believe each weapon could correspond to a different elemental build.

However, Netmarble has not confirmed whether these are separate weapons, alternate stances, or simply different skills.

Possible Combat Role

While Gowther's exact role remains unknown, many players believe he is more likely to be a support-focused character than a dedicated damage dealer.

Current community predictions include:

Build	Possible Role
Darkness	Support
Lightning	Support
Cold (Ice)	Burst or DPS

These predictions are based entirely on the gameplay preview and should not be considered official.

Possible Team Synergies

If the community's predictions are accurate, Gowther could support several different team compositions depending on his final build.

Possible synergies include:

• Darkness teams through supportive buffs or utility.
• Lightning teams focused on improving overall team performance.
• Cold teams with a more offensive Burst-oriented playstyle.

Since Netmarble has not released Gowther's complete kit, these potential team roles remain speculative.

Should You Save for Version 1.7?

If you've been waiting for Gowther, Version 1.7 is shaping up to be the update to watch.

While much of his gameplay remains a mystery, the official teaser confirms his arrival is close. Players who enjoy versatile support characters or simply want to collect another member of the Seven Deadly Sins roster may consider saving their resources until more information becomes available after launch.

For everyone else, it may be worth waiting for the official skill details before deciding whether to spend your summons.

Conclusion

Version 1.7 may not have revealed every secret yet, but Gowther has already become the center of attention before the update even launches. Until then, it's probably best to treat every rumor as speculation, save those Diamonds, and hope your self control lasts longer than the countdown to the banner.
