Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

From Software and Activision have announced that their Sengoku themed action title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has sold 2 million copies since launch, while amassing the sort of Twitch figures that would put many bigger names to shame.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice would like to make a Rockstar-style narrative-driven game. Speaking at Reboot Develop, Miyazaki said that he could create a game similar to RDR 2 one day

FromSoftware are famous for notoriously difficult games and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is no different, which ended up sparking a debate on whether games should have easy modes. God of War director Cory Barlog insists his vision comes first.

PC modder uberhalit has released a mod for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that offers a bunch of additional graphical options, and even includes various settings that allow you to create your own easy mode, if the game is too harsh for you.

It's been an eventful week when it comes to new arrivals but not in the top 10, which helped Nintendo and Good Feel's game Yoshi's Crafted World to first place in UK's all-formats chart. Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered debuted in ninth place.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has finally launched and it managed to beat Ubisoft's The Division 2, albeit only by 800 copies. Nevertheless, a close win is still a win, and we're sure neither Activision nor From Software will really mind.

FromSoftware are known for their extremely challenging games that often pull cheap shots on their players as well as kooky moments in said games. Combining both of those provided a major WTF moment for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice streamers.

According to Steam charts, FromSoftware's new title is Steam's biggest launch in 2019, beating Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice also peaked at 124,334 concurrent players making it fourth most-played game.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has finally arrived today - 22 March 2019 and it's safe to say that the majority of gaming critics and players are enjoying FromSoftware's new game. Scores on Metacritic are overwhelmingly positive at the moment.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice seems to be a well-optimised game as its PC system requirements are fairly low. The 25GB required disk space may not even be initially required as PlayStation 4 download is almost half that size before DLC.
