A recent leak claimed that the video game developed
by FromSoftware , “ Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice ”, will have an
anime adaptation. Although the information has not been officially
confirmed, it is stated that it will be a short-lived anime (few
episodes) and that it will be produced by Qzil.la , a studio known for
its short productions such as “Dainouteki na Rendezvous”, “KUROMI'S PRETTY
JOURNEY”, “Eldraine no Mori: Twin Fates” and the opening of “ Hell's
Paradise: Jigokuraku ”.
“ Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice ” is an
action-adventure video game developed by FromSoftware and
published by Activision . The game was released in March 2019
for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows platforms. A version for
Google Stadia was later released in 2020.
The game is set in a fictional version of Japan during
the Sengoku period, a time in history filled with war and conflict. The player
takes control of a shinobi named Wolf, also known as Sekiro (meaning “One-Armed
Wolf”), who seeks revenge against a samurai who attacked him and kidnapped his
lord, a young heir known as the Divine Heir.
The gameplay of “Sekiro” focuses on melee combat with
swords and the use of special abilities. Unlike other FromSoftware
games such as “Dark Souls” and “Bloodborne,” “Sekiro” does not include
traditional role-playing elements such as character stats or a multiplayer
mode. Instead, the game focuses on precision and timing in combat,
with a stance system that allows you to deflect enemy attacks and
counterattack.
The game received widespread praise for its level
design, combat mechanics, art direction, and high difficulty. It was
awarded Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019 and has been considered one of
the best games of the generation. “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” is a
masterpiece that combines Japanese aesthetics and culture with FromSoftware’s
signature challenging and addictive gameplay, providing a unique experience for
players looking for a challenge.
Synopsis of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
The game follows the story of Wolf, a one-armed
shinobi seeking to avenge the kidnapping of his lord and regain his lost honor.
Set in a fictional feudal Japan during the Sengoku period, the game combines
intense combat and deep narrative with elements of stealth and exploration.
Wolf possesses a versatile prosthetic arm that allows him to use special tools
and perform unique abilities. The main goal of the game is to track down and
confront challenging enemies and bosses, using a mix of fast-paced combat and
stance-based strategy. The game also introduces a resurrection mechanic,
allowing Wolf to rise after death and continue his quest. On his journey, he
will face both humans and supernatural creatures, while uncovering secrets and
unraveling a story rich with themes of revenge, loyalty, and redemption.
