Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

From the creators of the acclaimed Dark Souls comes Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, an adventure-focused third-person game that takes you on a journey through medieval Japan via atypical combat gameplay.

Gameplay of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

A historical scenario

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes place in a universe strongly inspired by Japan's Sengoku era (16th century) and offers you the role of Sekiro, a one-armed soldier tasked with protecting his lord in an era torn by war. Discover the historical events and warfare techniques of one of Japan's most influential periods!

Fighting revisited from a new angle

Fighting features atypical gameplay and a more strategic dimension. Here you'll have to exploit your opponent's weak points to keep him off balance and win.

Learn and refine your techniques, working on timing, speed and precision for optimal results. Also be alert to your enemies' movements to parry their attacks and be able to exploit your techniques more easily and effectively.

If you fail and are killed during a duel, you'll pick up where you died instead of reloading the game from a save point if you have healing skills.

A developed arsenal

In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you'll have multiple ways of defeating your opponents at your disposal. Your main weapon is the katana, the emblematic weapon of the samurai. The most advanced techniques use the katana and are useful for fighting in confined environments.

You'll also have a mechanical arm that replaces your missing limb and can be upgraded in various ways to gain access to brand-new skills.

Finally, you'll be able to exploit the art of shinobi implementing stealth for stealth attacks, and allowing you to surprise your opponent to throw them off balance in direct confrontation.
