FromSoftware Features Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice With New 12-minute Gameplay

[VSG]

FromSoftware and publisher Activision have been busy showing off their upcoming game title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which was first shown off at the Sony E3 event back in June this year, and then at Gamescom when our attention was mostly taken up with the NVIDIA Turing graphics announcements. The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) for this year has just wrapped up, and rounding off a series of console-only news was more gameplay footage from this very game which has many describing it as a multi-platform analogue to the Playstation-exclusive Bloodborne, similar to what the multi-platform Dark Souls was to the Playstation-exclusive Demon Souls before. Although the world itself here could not be much more different than Bloodborne, given it is FromSoftware's take on feudal Japan, there are certainly some familiar mechanics at work.

This means that boss fights are a key aspect of the game, and at TGS the released gameplay footage also included a new boss reveal- the Corrupted Monk. From the amount of footage released thus far, it seems apparent that combat in the game will be just as challenging as other games from the developer. Another thing to note is the color palette for the game is a lot brighter than the usual offering from the studio, which they have decided only makes the bloodworks during combat all the more contrasting. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice releases March 22, 2019 and is up for pre-order on Steam for $60, if you were so inclined.

Looks cool. Reminds me of something.. but I can't put my finger on it (not Dark Souls.. something from another dev).

From Software...

From what software?

 

[StrayKAT]

I got it.. the pace, the blocks, and clunky AI somehow reminded me of DAI.

But I'm sure it's 10x better.. with all of the grappling/acrobatic stuff to boot.

It's supposed to be more like the new Tenchu. For lack of a "new" Tenchu.

I get that too, from the setting. Just something about the combat reminded me of DAI.

Anyways, I probably won't buy it quickly like Dark Souls, but I'll eventually get it. There aren't enough PC games like this anyhow.

I'm not gonna watch any gameplay full of spoilers like every trailer they release from dark souls 2.
Thye don't known how a trailer is suppose to be.
Spoilering most bosses and other stuff is not a trailer .
I wish they didn't show at all any stuff .

Yes is game play but still you don't show bosses for game play purpose. They do this kind of move for create hype spoilering you stuff .
