FromSoft's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is becoming an anime

FromSoftware's critically acclaimed game "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is being adapted into an anime series titled "Sekiro: No Defeat." The announcement was made during Gamescom 2025's Opening Night Live event. The anime will be directed by Kenichi Kutsuna, who has previously worked on popular anime series like "One Punch Man" and "Naruto: Shippuden." The trailer for "Sekiro: No Defeat" suggests that the anime will have a distinct visual style, with a more vibrant and hand-drawn aesthetic compared to the muted, immersive world of the original game. However, the show is expected to maintain the game's signature brutal violence and "kill ingeniously" tagline. The anime series will be exclusively available on the streaming platform Crunchyroll, and is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2026. This adaptation continues the trend of video game properties being transformed into successful anime shows, catering to both fans of the original game and the broader anime audience.
