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.
At Gamescom 2018, fans will finally be able to experience the
unique and varied features of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and
sample the game’s rich sense of tension for the first time
including:
- 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 utilized 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.
“We can’t wait for fans to finally get their hands on Sekiro:
Shadows Die Twice,” said Steve Young, Chief Revenue Officer at
Activision. “Fans will get a taste of the multiple tools available
for the prosthetic shinobi arm this week at Gamescom, and will be
able to fully dive into the brutal, dark world of 1500s Sengoku
Japan when the game launches on March 22, 2019.”
The Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Collector’s Edition,
available now for pre-order at select retailers, delivers fans the
following collectible items:
- Full Game
- 7” Shinobi Statue
- SteelBook®
- Collectible Artbook
- Map
- Digital Soundtrack
- Replica Game Coins
Developed by FromSoftware, fans will find familiarity in the
gritty Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice gameplay where combat
reigns supreme. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, Sekiro: Shadows
Die Twice is a single-player game that puts players in the
protagonist role of a hard-hearted warrior whose mission is to
rescue his master, a young lord, and exact revenge on his arch
nemesis. Players will enjoy combining features, such as vertical
traversal, with visceral head-to-head battle to fulfill their
destiny in a vast world filled with beautiful vistas, enormous
castles, bizarre weaponry, and fearsome enemies.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will launch on PlayStation®4,
