The Soulsbourne phenomenon continues into 2019, with Sekiro: Shadows Die destined to become the next From Software title to make players despair at their TV screens as they inevitably reload a boss-battle for the 50th time. For those who enjoy the excruciating - some would say, satisfying - experience conjured by the studio in Dark Souls and Bloodborne, however, Sekiro will likely be top of their most anticipated releases of the year.

Shown off at last year's E3, the game boasts a brand new setting inspired by Japanese history and mythology, with the player taking on the role of a shinobi (or ninja), as they take revenge on the samurai who attacked him and his lord.

As with most games from this year Sekiro looks like a visual delight, but of course the main draw will be its gameplay, which seems to be capturing the perfect balance of challenge and depth FromSoftware's previous titles have all managed to do in one way or another.
