Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima might not be the only samurai-esque game you’ll be playing this year. FromSoftware’s 2019 hit Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will soon be receiving a surprise update that adds a few often-requested features to the game. Starting October 29, you’ll be able to attempt a boss rush gauntlet without having to resort to fan mods for the feature.
Available for all platforms (PC, PS4, Xbox One), the update will bring a new “Reflection of Strength/Gauntlet of Strength” option that will be accessible to those that have finished Sekiro’s campaign. As should be evident from its title, this is a boss rush mode that will let players “rematch previously defeated bosses in single and consecutive battles.”
In addition to that new mode, some extra costumes are being added to give the main character a little variety. The website teases three new costumes with two called “Old Ashina Shinobi” and “Tengu.” These will require certain in-game stipulations to be met, though these are likely related to beating Boss Rush and the main campaign.
Finally, a recording feature dubbed “Remnants” is getting added that sounds pretty similar to Dark Souls’ bloodstains. With this, you’ll be able to record 30-second clips that will show up in other players’ worlds. You can attach a message and help guide others to secrets or their untimely death.
Considering I never expected Sekiro to receive any new features, all of this sounds great. Now if we could just get official co-op support…
