Reasons To Speculate For An Anime Adaptation
Sekiro's Plot Gives A Sustainable Story For An Anime
Sekiro's overall plot and story would fill well in an anime format. Sekiro is published by Activision and follows the story of a shinobi known as Wolf. Wolf attempts to take revenge on a samurai clan that imprisoned him and kidnaped his lord. This game takes place in a fictionalized Japan during the Sengoku period.
Sekiro Manga
The manga series Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying depicts the tale of Hanbei the Undying, a video game character renowned for his immortality. It delves into Hanbei's past and his reasons for fighting. It also offers further information about the Sekiro universe.
The manga was written and illustrated by Shin Yamamoto and was supervised by FromSoftware, and published by Yen Press.
Sony Invests In The Anime Industry
The main three anime streaming services in the US, Funimation, Crunchyroll, and Aniplex, are owned by Sony. The company also established PlayStation Productions in 2019, a division solely aiming to adapt its well-known brands into film and television.
While there are many reasons to justify a Sekiro anime adaptation, it is better to wait for an official announcement in the future.
