Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is on the present flooring at Gamescom in Cologne this week, which gave me an opportunity to wrap my skeletal shinobi fingers round FromSoftware’s newest.
After I attempted the game, I sat down with Yasuhiro Kitao, FromSoftware’s comms supervisor, to talk about Sekiro.
When I particularly requested him about whether or not FromSoftware would ever return to the Tenchu sequence – the fan-favourite, stealth games from the PlayStation period – Kitao, by way of a translator, mentioned:
“We plan to make quite a lot of totally different titles and contemporary experiences. We’re not simply going to be making shinobi games going ahead. But so far as Miyazaki has mentioned in interviews beforehand, the Dark Souls sequence is completed.
“That mentioned, we do need to maintain creating these contemporary experiences, and simply games we need to make – so please keep tuned.”
So whereas it wasn’t a stable affirmation of From’s intentions for the long run, it leaves the door open for a sure shinobi to slide by way of.
FromSoftware acquired the rights to Tenchu all the way back in 2004, with the studio publishing the newest entry within the sequence – Tenchu: Shadow Assassins – in 2009.
