Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice releases on March 22nd, new details and Gamescom 2018 screenshots released


Activision has officially announced the launch date for the highly-anticipated new game from FromSoftware. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a third-person, action-adventure game with RPG elements, is planned to release globally on March 22nd, 2019.

New gameplay details about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice reveal that the prosthetic tools belonging to the “one-armed wolf” protagonist can be reconstructed to unlock new actions such as powerful charge attacks. These attacks allow the player to broaden their approach to defeat their foes.

Here are some of the game’s key features:

  • Sword Combat: The core combat in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is measured by an intense clash of steel. Players will take command of special Sword Arts to supplement their regular attacks, and tear down enemy defenses before sealing the final blow.
  • Shinobi Prosthetic: Players can equip and switch between a variety of unique Prosthetic Tools to find the weakness of a formidable enemy. Additionally, tools such as the Grappling Hook can be utilised to bring an extra dimension to exploration and traversal throughout the world of the game.
  • Resurrection: Used as an opportunity for a tactical retreat or to deceive an enemy and go on the counter-offensive, this new combat strategy allows players to resurrect on the spot, even after a hasty death.

Last but not least, Activision released three new screenshots that you can find below!
