Wolf reluctantly agrees to help and sets out to collect the necessary materials for the ritual, including a special sword that can kill immortals known as the Mortal Blade, which is safeguarded by the immortal 'Child of the Rejuvenating Waters', the only survivor from an experiment with the Rejuvenating Waters. However, Kuro instead decides to stay and perform the 'Immortal Severance' ritual, which would remove his Dragon Heritage and prevent anybody else from fighting over him to obtain immortality. As Wolf rescues Kuro, the two are given the opportunity to flee Ashina forever. However, Genichiro survives as he drank the 'Rejuvenating Waters', an artificial replication of the Dragon Heritage. Armed with a Shinobi Prosthetic, Wolf assaults Ashina Castle and confronts Genichiro again, defeating him. Having received Kuro's blood, Wolf survives and is brought to an abandoned temple to recuperate by a Sculptor, a former shinobi known as Sekijo, who now carves Buddha statues.

Wolf, now a full-fledged shinobi and Kuro's personal bodyguard, fights him but loses the duel along with his left arm while Genichiro takes the boy. Desperate to save his clan, Isshin's adoptive grandson Genichiro seeks the immortal 'Divine Heir' Kuro in hopes of using 'Dragon Heritage' in his blood to create an immortal army. Two decades later, Ashina is on the brink of collapse due to the now elderly Isshin falling ill and the Interior Ministry, a group set on unifying Japan, steadily closing in. During this time, a nameless orphan is adopted by the wandering shinobi named Ukonzaemon Usui, known to many as 'Owl', who named the boy 'Wolf' and trained him in the ways of the shinobi. In 17th century Japan, following the Sengoku period, warlord Isshin Ashina stages a coup to seize control of the land of Ashina. If the player character dies, they have the option of being revived on the spot if they have resurrection power, which is restored by defeating enemies, instead of respawning at earlier checkpoints. In addition, the player character can use various tools to assist with combat and exploration, such as a grappling hook. The game also features stealth elements, allowing players to immediately eliminate some enemies if they can get in range undetected. Rather than attacking to whittle an enemy's health points, combat in Sekiro revolves around using a katana to attack their posture and balance instead, which eventually leads to an opening that allows for a single killing blow. It does, however, include gear upgrading, a skill tree, and limited ability customization. Compared to FromSoftware's own Souls series, the game features fewer role-playing elements, lacking character creation and the ability to level up a variety of stats, as well as having no multiplayer elements. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game played from a third-person view. Gameplay screenshot showing the player fighting against the 'Corrupted Monk', one of the game's many bosses

While creating the game, lead director Hidetaka Miyazaki wanted to create a new intellectual property (IP) that marked a departure from the Souls series of games also made by FromSoftware, and looked to series such as The Mysterious Murasame Castle and Tenchu for inspiration. The game takes place in a fictionalized Japan set during the Sengoku period and makes strong references to Buddhist mythology and philosophy. Gameplay is focused on stealth, exploration, and combat, with a particular emphasis on boss battles. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in March 2019 and for Stadia in October 2020. The game follows a shinobi known as Sekiro as he attempts to take revenge on a samurai clan who attacked him and kidnapped his lord. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by FromSoftware and published by Activision.
