Sword duels in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice revolve around a posture-based system, while stealth and mobility are also central to play. Players control Wolf, a shinobi pursuing his kidnapped lord and seeking revenge against his enemies.
The setting is a reimagined late-1500s Sengoku-era Japan. With the Ashina clan threatened by encroaching enemies and its ailing leader Isshin, his grandson Genichiro captures the Divine Heir Kuro, hoping to use Kuro’s Dragon Heritage to create an immortal army.
