Since its release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has left an indelible mark on the video game industry, captivating players with its intense narrative and challenging gameplay. Developed by FromSoftware, the title is set in feudal Japan and was honored as Game of the Year in 2019, thanks to its focus on honor and redemption. Now, new speculations suggest that we might enjoy this universe in a different format.
Sekiro could have its own anime
Recently, it has been reported that Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of FromSoftware, has registered the domain “SEKIRO-ANIME.JP”. This registration, made on July 31, 2025, has fueled speculation about a possible animated adaptation of the game, with an active period extending until 2026. While there has been no official confirmation, the move suggests that plans are underway for a project related to Sekiro.
According to leaked information from ResetEra, the studio responsible for the animation would be Qzil.la, known for its work on Hell’s Paradise. This team, despite being relatively young and having only completed one season in previous projects, suggests that we could expect a compact high-quality production, focused on the intensity of the battles that characterize the original game.
The possibility of a Sekiro anime not only excites fans but could also pave the way for future animated adaptations of other FromSoftware titles. On the other hand, there has also been talk of a movie project based on Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland and with Kit Connor as a possible lead. Although there are no concrete details about this film, the interest in adaptations of FromSoftware’s universes continues to grow, marking a new chapter in their narrative legacy.
