Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Overview
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game developed by FromSoftware and released on March 21, 2019. Set in a reimagined late-16th-century Japan, players control the shinobi Wolf on a quest to rescue his lord, using a prosthetic arm with interchangeable tools, stealth and a posture-based combat system instead of the stats and character builds of the studio's Souls games. It won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019. The version sold today is the GOTY Edition, which includes the free content update that added boss rush modes and cosmetic skins. The game is single-player only.
