Sekiro Battles a Corrupted Monk in New ‘Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice’ Gameplay Video
From Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is hitting PC and consoles in the new year, and while the latest trailers look damn good, we all want gameplay, right? Luckily, PlayStation Underground has got you covered, with 12 minutes of gameplay, including a boss battle!
Due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 22, 2019, the game takes place in a reimagined late 16th century Sengoku period Japan. The player takes control of a shinobi who was left for dead after his lord was kidnapped and his arm lopped off by the head samurai of the Ashina clan. The shinobi awakens to find that his missing arm has been replaced with a prosthetic version by a mysterious Buddhist sculptor who dubs him Sekiro, or “the one-armed wolf”. Armed with a katana and his new arm, Sekiro sets out to rescue his lord and get revenge.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
