Exciting news for fans of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as recent developments suggest an anime adaptation might be in the works. A newly registered web domain, "Sekiro-Anime.JP," has sparked speculation about an official announcement soon. This comes after previous rumors hinted at an anime adaptation, but this domain registration provides more concrete evidence.

Released in 2019 by FromSoftware, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice quickly became a fan favorite for its challenging gameplay and immersive world. The game has sold over 10 million copies and received numerous awards, though it has been somewhat overshadowed by later releases like Elden Ring. Despite this, the potential for an anime adaptation could reignite interest in the franchise.

The domain was registered by Kadokawa, which holds a 70% stake in FromSoftware. While the site currently leads to a 404 error, the registration is valid for a year, suggesting that an official announcement could be imminent. Fans are eagerly awaiting further details, hoping for a high-quality adaptation that stays true to the game's dark and atmospheric tone.

Rumors also suggest that studio Qzil.la might be involved in the production, known for their work on Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise. However, concerns have been raised about the studio's use of generative AI in previous projects. Fans are cautiously optimistic, hoping the anime will rely on traditional animation techniques to capture the game's intricate details.
