Awards and Nominations, Including “Best of gamescom 2018,” FromSoftware

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – March 22, 2019 –
Gamers worldwide will embark on an unforgettable journey that makes death an
enemy and ally in the highly-anticipated videogame, Sekiro™:
Shadows Die Twice. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki of
FromSoftware (Dark Souls and Bloodborne), Sekiro: Shadows Die
Twice launches today as an epic adventure that introduces players to a
beautifully dark world filled with brutal enemies, intense sword combat, and
engrossing vertical exploration! The game is now available on PlayStation®4;
PlayStation®4 Pro; the family of Xbox One devices from Microsoft, including the
Xbox One X; and PC via Steam.
Players will discover an all-new gaming
experience in Sekiro:
Shadows Die Twice as they take on the role of the
“one-armed wolf.” As the game’s sole protagonist, the wolf is willed to obey
and protect by using his newly acquired shinobi prosthetic arm to restore his
honor, rescue his master known as The Divine Heir, and exact revenge on his
enemy at all costs. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice offers reward-based
exploration as players uncover new items, meet new characters, encounter hidden
challenges, and learn more about the rich lore within the game – all taking
place across a detailed world filled with beautiful vistas, unique weaponry,
and larger-than-life foes.
“Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a game set in
Japan’s Sengoku era and portrays the great battle faced by a lone, one-armed
shinobi. Withered and ruined landscapes combined with a vibrant color palette
make for a game world that is true to the FromSoftware style, in which the
player is always one step away from death. It is our hope that new and old fans
alike will enjoy our shinobi’s journey; rich with intense and dynamic
combat,” said Hidetaka Miyazaki, President of FromSoftware and Director of
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Published by Activision*, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), Sekiro:
Shadows Die Twice keeps true to FromSoftware’s legacy of challenging yet
rewarding gameplay, and offers unique combat that emphasizes patience,
technique and creativity. Players will learn to embrace the posture system,
which focuses on deflecting attacks, while simultaneously being defensive and
aggressive. Resurrection gives the opportunity for either tactical retreat or
enemy deception to go on the counter-offensive. The shinobi prosthetic, which
can be outfitted with a variety of attachments such as the grappling hook,
loaded axe, and flame vent, brings an entirely new dimension to the gameplay as
it enables players to exploit enemy weaknesses.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is available for the
suggested retail price of $59.99. For more information, please visit www.SekiroTheGame.com and follow @SekiroTheGame on Twitter,
