Selvom Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice har imponeret mange siden den reelle debut ved sidste års E3-messe, så var der mange der hævede øjenbrynene over Activisions involvering, da de som regel ikke er kendt for at investere i sådanne projekter. Men alt tyder på at udgiveren faktisk har været en god samarbejdspartner for FromSoftware.
I et interview med Game Informer fortæller studiets marketingschef Yasuhiro Kitao at de faktisk har haft komplet kreativ styring over projektet.
"They offered to help us with areas that we don't consider our expertise, such as user testing, offering feedback in regards to usability, things like this. We're getting a lot of stimulation from the ideas they give us. [Activision has] given us all creative control of the project. Everything past the start screen is From's jurisdiction. It's a really great collaboration that we're proud of."
Der kan man bare se.
