The long-rumored Sekiro anime is real. As announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, Sekiro: No Defeat is a "fully hand-drawn" adaptation of the FromSoftware action game, and it promises a "a tale of loyalty and blood," the latter part of which is certainly evidenced in the debut trailer.
"We are taking on the monumental task of animating the breathtakingly beautiful Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In doing so, we are pouring every ounce of our artistic vision and passion for beauty into its production," director Kenichi Kutsuna says in a press release. "The final product is being crafted to be a truly memorable experience, one that will leave a lasting impression on both dedicated fans of the game and those who are discovering the world of Sekiro for the very first time. Please look forward to it."
