Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Exceeds 10 Million Sales

Expert Verified By

New Milestone After 4 Years!

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice marked a massive departure from studio FromSoftware’s previous work. The game was released three years after Dark Souls 3 and focused on parry-based gameplay, encouraging players to utilize stealth along the way.

FromSoftware found incredible success with the game, and it quickly became a fan favorite, establishing its place among the best offerings from the studio. This success has continued for several years, with the game reaching a new milestone in 2023.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. 

Why it matters: FromSoftware has become one of the best Japanese studios after its success in this distinct genre, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’s success is a testament to the quality of its games.

The game was released in 2019, so it took over four years to reach the 10 million mark. Celebrating the milestone, FromSoftware has thanked the players for their incredible support over the years.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice puts players in the role of Wolf, a shinobi utilizing different tools and sword combat throughout his journey of protecting the Divine Heir. Wolf can be revived upon death using the power of the Heir, leading to an interesting risk-and-reward loop.

Like previous FromSoftware releases, the game excels in level design and combat encounters, while the addition of stealth and a grappling hook makes combat encounters more dynamic.

Boss battles are also a highlight, challenging players with enemies that put their parrying skills to the test through varied movesets, earning the title of the most difficult FromSoftware game from some.

These elements ensured Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice stood out among the plethora of great games in 2019, earning it the Game of The Year award at TGA 2019.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Anime

While FromSoftware has not supported the game with additional expansions or DLC, the game received bonus content in 2020. This content included a new boss challenge mode and skins for players to unlock after completing the main game.

A reliable leaker has also hinted at an anime adaption of the game. As per the leaker, an official announcement is expected soon.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice remains one of the best releases from the studio. It continues the tradition of beautiful environments, engaging stories, and a satisfying combat loop, leading to new milestones four years later.
