This is kinda a weird choice. I don’t think the setting of Sekiro is that vast, so I imagine this will kinda have to follow the plot of the game. The thing is, Sekiro was already a heavy story-based game, at least compared to most other FromSoft titles. Your character has a voice, there are story cutscenes, it’s not quite like a Dark Souls where you can complete the game without knowing anything about Kuro or his goals.
If the anime is really just going to be a beat for beat retelling of Sekiro, that seems like a waste. It’s also not like the story of the game is even that compelling? It’s a lot of Macguffin collecting, the overall theme is a pretty basic “power corrupts.”
Very fair point. I’ve finished the game several times and am looking at the anime as some fan service just to see scenes animated that I’ve played before. You know the kind where you shake your disinterested SO’s shoulder and tell them they have to look because of what’s happening next. “Don’t look at your phone! You have to look what happens now” That’s too cool!"
