Modder turns Sekiro into Tony Hawk-style skateboarding sim 'Jet Set Sekiro'

Now this is what I'm talking about: Modder Ionian-MikiriyAKATotallyNotShinobi (god damn that's a mouthful) has come out with a banger on the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Nexus: Jet Set Sekiro, a custom skateboarding level where you shred around the Fountainhead Palace like the spirit of 2002 never died...

FromSoftware fans are so passionate, the upcoming Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime will be 'under the microscope', says director

The Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime is ticking along nicely—after a brief hubbub about potential AI use (which the director was quick to dismiss, and I never held much stock in any way, smear frames look weird), talk about the series, dubbed Sekiro: No Defeat, mostly quietened down... Read more.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime studio Qzil.la lands in the hotseat after suspected AI usage—though whether it's generative or not is still up in the air

The Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime, announced at Gamescom 2025, has found itself landing squarely in the hotseat—as it turns out, the studio brought in by Crunchyroll to produce it, named Qzil.la, might just be using generative AI in their work. Well. Potentially... Read more.

Data sleuth discovers that Sekiro's inexplicable, skyscraper-sized rope man who gives you a lift to Heaven might have once been a boss fight or level unto itself

Longtime FromSoftware dataminer Zullie the Witch has uploaded a new video that interrogates one of the studio's most memorably strange non sequiturs: The giant guy made of rope who carries you from the kingdom of Ashina to the celestial Fountainhead Palace. It seems like there was once much more to Mr. Rope-a-Dope than we saw in the final game... Read more.

Sekiro player beats hardest boss 328 days in a row to demand more content

Getting stuck on a FromSoftware boss is part of the experience. The first time I came up against Ornstein and Smough I was absolutely demolished, but it was my perseverance and willingness to try new strategies that eventually helped me beat them. This tenacity is no less required in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but what if you decided to stay on one boss forever? Well, that's exactly what this play...

There's now an Elden Ring mod that swaps Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss for Hidetaka Miyazaki riding Patches, because why not

Warning, spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree lie ahead. I've seen this, so now you've got to. There's now an Elden Ring mod that swaps out Shadow of the Erdtree's big bad final boss, Promised Consort Radahn, for a giant version of Patches giving a piggyback to FromSoft bossman Hidetaka Miyazaki. Because of course there is. Yep, you might have seen this pretty tough fight beaten using a ...

Parrying god defeats the hardest boss in Sekiro without moving, admits 'I really need a DLC'

veteran Sekiro player, GroeneWolf420, has done the unthinkable and defeated Isshin: The Sword Saint by using abilities instead of "walking, running, jumping, or mikiri countering," according to a Reddit post. To be clear, this means facing one of FromSoft's most fearsome bosses and somehow parrying through everything, even thrust attacks that are not meant to be parried in the conventional fa...

Fresh off beating Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring players have one last request for FromSoft - unleash the boss rematches

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree has provided FromSoft masochists with a whole heap of big new bosses to get stomped by and then stomp for themselves, so naturally the DLC's release has pretty quickly spawned calls for the game to have a system that'll faciliate some easily accessible boss fight rematches added to it next. To be fair to them, unless you're one of the sickos who opted to keep a spe...

'Sekiro was a big turning point': After Elden Ring Hidetaka Miyazaki says, 'there's one more level we can crank it up to'

If you've ever played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, then you'll probably remember just how rhythmic and fluid the fighting is. Armed with a samurai sword and a prosthetic arm, there's more of an onus placed on precise timing and dancing around your opponent than you may find in other souls games. But this style isn't as much of a one-off as it may seem. While later souls games lik...

Stellar Blade’s combat takes a lot from Sekiro, so why does it feel different?

I know exactly what you’re thinking after reading this headline. Why would you go into one game expecting it to play like some other one you like? After all, it doesn’t make sense to burden it with the expectations we have from playing another, especially if it never explicitly positioned itself as a spiritual successor or anything. Something about Stellar Blade - the upcoming PS5 action RPG from ...
