“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.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
