A 94 average that almost nobody knows about — yet. Built around not being seen, from the studio behind Dark Souls. Ghost it or go loud, but ghosting is the real game. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be.

About this game

A free update for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, released following its Game of the Year win, which added several features alongside the edition name change. The Game of the Year Edition update includes: - Reflection and Gauntlet of Strength – new boss challenge modes - Remnants – messages and recordings of player actions that other players can view and rate - Three unlockable cosmetic skins

The game takes place in a reimagined late-16th-century Sengoku-period Japan. At the end of the Sengoku era, warlord Isshin Ashina stages a bloody coup and seizes the land of Ashina. During this time, a nameless orphan is adopted by the wandering shinobi Owl, who names the orphan "Wolf". Twenty years later, the Ashina clan is on the brink of collapse due to a combination of the now elderly Isshin having fallen ill and the clan's enemies steadily closing in from all sides. Desperate to find a way to prevent the fall of his clan, Isshin's grandson Genichiro captures the Divine Heir Kuro, in hopes of using his "Dragon Heritage" to create an immortal army.
