Who makes Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is developed by FromSoftware, Inc. and published by Activision.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a single-player action game developed by FromSoftware. Activision publishes it outside Japan and Asia. It first came out in 2019, and the PC version has been on Steam since 21 March 2019. It is sold at a one-off price. It ranks #27 in our best games of all time ranking.
How it plays
In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you play the 'one-armed wolf', a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death, who is bound to protect a young lord from an ancient bloodline. When the lord is captured, you set out to regain your honour, and the publisher says not even death will stop you.
The game is set in late 1500s Sengoku Japan, a brutal period of constant conflict, and puts you up against larger-than-life foes, including the Ashina clan. You use an arsenal of prosthetic tools and ninja abilities, and play mixes stealth, vertical movement and close, head-to-head combat.
It is a single-player game. The Game of the Year Edition sold on Steam adds Reflection and Gauntlet of Strength, two boss challenge modes, Remnants, which let you leave messages and recordings of your actions for other players to view and rate, and three cosmetic skins. These online features need an internet connection. Steam lists full controller support.
