From Software`s mysterious stealth focused action-adventure, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, will no doubt be a big change of pace for fans of the stoic Souls series. While we`re still largely in the dark about how the new game will fit the developer`s familiar Souls formula into the mold of a stealth-action game, we at least know when we can get our hands on the full game. Releasing next year on March 22, the Dark Souls developer`s new take on the stealth-action sub-genre will make its debut on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.Published by Activision, From Software`s next game was first teased last year at The Game Awards, showing off a cryptic trailer featuring a prosthetic arm and the eerie text `Shadows Die Twice`. During E3 2018, Oscar Dayus got to check out an early glimpse of game shortly after its unveiling at the Microsoft Xbox Conference, and learned a bit more about what to expect from the Dark Souls developer`s new IP.From the official press release, the publisher offered a brief description of the game`s narrative: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.The more I learn about Sekiro, the more I`m entranced by it. It`ll be interesting to see just how much From Software has learned from the Souls series and Bloodborne, and how they`ll inject the uncompromising design they`ve refined over years into an different beast. It`s especially encouraging to hear that Hidetaka Miyazaki will be directing the game as well, who`s been at the forefront of From Software`s major shift into AAA development over the last ten years.For more info on Sekiro: Shadows ...
