A dedicated Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice fan shared their cosplay based on the game's protagonist, which took four years to complete. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was released in 2019, and it quickly earned its place among the impressive games released by FromSoftware.
Set in Japan's Sengoku period, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice follows the character after whom the game is named. A highly skilled shinobi, Sekiro serves Kuro, the young lord of an ancient lineage. He finds himself in a tricky situation when he has to defend his lord from lethal enemies, including the Ashina clan. To succeed in his mission, Sekiro has many abilities and equipment to use in battle, such as his Kusabimaru katana. Honoring the fearless Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice protagonist, a talented fan shared their recreation online.
Sekiro Fan Beats Toughest Boss Every Day for a Year Demanding New Content
A passionate Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice fan dedicates their efforts to beating one of the game's hardest bosses every single day for nearly a year.
On the cosplay subreddit, a user named pandaredss shared their Sekiro cosplay, which took four years to complete. The images show the fan wearing a recreation with the same hairstyle and facial markings as the main character in FromSoftware's acclaimed game. They impress with their wealth of detail, such as the arm and leg protectors, the orange robe that goes over the shinobi's costume, the use of real chainmail, and the katana with which they pose in the photos - the first of which refers to one of the game's official artworks.
Fan Dresses Up as Sekiro and the Result Impresses
According to them, the project began in 2020, when the plan was to compete in the World Cosplay Summit (WCS), but the COVID pandemic paused the famous cosplay championship. The cosplayer, who is Russian, was faced with another problem when Russia was subsequently banned from the WCS. The dream only became real in 2024, when they were selected to take part in the event as a wildcard. On Instagram, they posted a video showing how they made the most iconic part of the cosplay: Sekiro's prosthetic arm used to cross distances on his journey through ancient Japan. The comments section was full of praise for the OP's cosplay, with many saying that for a moment they thought it was a screenshot from the game.
After releasing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and adding another hit to its catalog, FromSoftware returned in 2022 with Elden Ring. A partnership between Hidetaka Miyazaki, creator of the Dark Souls series, and George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring turns players into the Tarnished and introduces a rich cast of characters such as Malenia and Miquella. And like Sekiro, the Elden Ring universe also inspires eye-catching cosplays.
