The Content descriptors for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice ESRB rating are “Blood and Gore, Violence” with a Rating Summary that reads:

This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a disgraced shinobi on a quest to rescue his kidnapped lord in ancient Japan. Players use swords and a prosthetic arm to battle members of an enemy clan and supernatural demons in frenetic combat. Large blood-splatter effects occur as enemies are killed; some attacks result in decapitation and/or dismemberment. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a man impaled through the chest with a sword; a child stabbed with a sword off screen.

Below is a video of 10 minutes of Sekiro Gameplay:

The game has stunning visuals and the prosthetic arm used to hook shot along roofs and jump all around the place could mean some amazing level design based on verticality. Anyone who has played Dark Souls knows that From Software are experts in terms of good level design.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will release on 22nd March 2019 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Are you excited for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice? Let us know in the comments below!
