Dark Souls' FromSoftware Reveals Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Game

FromSoftware revealed its new game, titled Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference on Sunday. The game will ship for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in 2019. Activision is publishing the game.

FromSoftware teased the new game last December.

Activision describes the game:

Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and published by Activision, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a third-person, action-adventure game with RPG elements. The single-player game puts players in the protagonist role of a hard-hearted warrior whose mission is to rescue his master, a young lord who is the descendant of an ancient bloodline, and exact revenge on his arch nemesis. Set in the re-imagined world of late 1500s Sengoku Japan; a brutal, bloody period of constant life-and-death conflict, in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you are the “one-armed wolf,” a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death.

In the game, players come face-to-face with larger than life foes; unleash an arsenal of deadly prosthetic tools and powerful ninja abilities to blend stealth, vertical traversal, and visceral head-to-head combat in a bloody confrontation.

Take revenge. Restore your honor. Kill Ingeniously.

FromSoftware is best known for its Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne action games, as well as its Armored Core mecha action game. The company released its latest game, Dark Souls III, in Japan for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in March 2016, and then in North America and Europe for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in April 2016.
