Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice would have anime

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. Subsequently, in 2020, a version was released for Google Stadia.

The game is set in a fictionalized version of Japan during the Sengoku period, a historical time filled with wars and conflicts. The player takes control of a shinobi named Wolf, also known as Sekiro (meaning "One-Armed Wolf"), who seeks revenge on 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 like "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne," "Sekiro" doesn't include traditional role-playing elements like character stats, nor 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.
