Set in the closing years of the Sengoku period; ‘SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE’ depicts a withered, yet vivid world spawned from a reinterpretation of Japanese-inspired aesthetic, where the battle unfolds for a solitary shinobi, bound by the code. Freely traverse open, three-dimensional environments, meticulously designed and brimming with secrets to explore, while utilizing everything at your disposal in order to take on powerful enemies in this wholly unique experience.

Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, developed by FromSoftware, published by Activision.

Players will enjoy combining new features, such as vertical traversal, with visceral head-to-head battle to fulfill their destiny in a vast world filled with beautiful vistas, enormous castles, bizarre weaponry, and fearsome enemies.

The protagonist seems to have been resurrected to take on a mission of revenge. He has a prosthetic arm that can be used to transform into a variety of weapons or even a shield mid-action. The arm was originally showcased in the teaser trailer.

The game has been announced to release on 22 March 2019 worldwide for PlayStation®4, Xbox One™ and Windows®.

As of 15 June 2018

The project began at the end of 2015, after the development of the Bloodborne DLC had ended. There was the option to make it a Tenchu game, but Tenchu was originally a series made by many different developers, each with their own characteristics. They thought they would end up imitating them in the end, so they gave up on that. Game development and publishing in Japan and Asia will be handled by From, with Activision handling all other regions. Activision gave a lot of advice regarding many things, including game development, but game development and final decisions were always in From's hands.

The time is set near the end of the Sengoku warring period in Japan. Like all other games before this, it isn’t an actual location, but it is in a high-altitude cold country(Japan was splintered into countries during this time). The end of the Sengoku era also holds the nuance that the country may be at its end (as Japan will soon be unified). Map design is close to Dark Souls 1, with a few exceptions, it is a seamlessly connected 3-dimensional map.

The revive system consumes resources, being able to come back to life at will at the same location. Killing an enemy who think you are dead is also a tactic. Revives are at the moment, guaranteed once, with additional revives requiring resources. In order to keep death something to be nervous about, the penalty and restrictions are tuned to keep the game at a good pace.
