For those who love a good challenge and are itching to live out a ninja fantasy before the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a fantastic choice. Developed by FromSoftware, this game stays true to the punishing yet immensely satisfying nature of their Soulslike games. The feeling of finally overcoming a particularly tough boss is indescribable—it’s the kind of accomplishment you can’t wait to share with friends, though they may not always share your enthusiasm; my wife certainly didn’t. Regardless, Sekiro is a perfect way to satiate that craving for ninja action and sets the stage nicely for what’s to come in Shadows.
Looking forward to the gaming calendar, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is expected to hit the shelves on March 20, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows, provided everything stays on track.
