Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice er et meget anderledes spil for FromSoftware, for ikke bare er der mere fokus på bevægelighed, det er også udgivet af Activision. Instruktør Hidetaka Miyazaki sagde desuden under E3, at de ønsker at et bredere publikum skal kunne nyde spillet, men disse kommentarer lader han til at fortryde en smule.
I den seneste udgave af Edge Magazine (som du kan finde her) fortæller Miyazaki at spillet ikke vil gå på kompromis for at appellere bredere.
"We're not consciously trying to make a game that's oriented towards a certain subset of users. We're making games for people that love games."
Desuden uddyber Miyazaki lidt om hvorfor Sekiro også vil fokusere på snigeri:
"When we first started discussing what this project would be, we decided we wanted to make a game with a Japanese setting. From that stemmed the discussion of ninja. This of course spurred discussion of Tenchu, which is a title both From and Activision have a history with. From these ideas - Tenchu, Japan, and ninja - come these light stealth mechanics. They just naturally weave themselves into the design."
