Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

FromSoftware, the developers behind Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Tenchu present Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Sekiro is an action-adventure game where players walk the path of Wolf, a shinobi who fails his mission to protect his lord and is left for dead. When he is found and saved by a man who creates a tool-filled prosthetic arm to help him on his quest, Wolf travels across Sengoku-era Japan to face off against mythological beasts and mighty samurai warriors on a quest for revenge.
