FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was released with the highest praise. This includes awards such as the coveted Game of the Year title from the 2019 Game Awards and the Award of Excellence from the Japan Game Awards. 

Shadows Die Twice took the punishing gameplay of Dark Souls and Bloodborne and morphed the setting to a feudal Japan setting. The new environment allowed players to encounter various creatures and horrors from Japanese legend and folklore.

Since its release, the game has sold almost 4 million copies and spawned multiple spin-off stories that even include an art book. One of the side stories that fans can explore tells the story of one of the games more tragic characters; Hanbei the Undying. 

Players encountered Hanbei on their journeys through feudal Japan. The new manga series, Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying, will be venturing into the past of this character before he encountered the wolf. 

The manga will be spearheaded by Shin Yamamoto and published by Yen Press. Recently, Yen Press revealed on their official Twitter, when fans would be able to get their hands on this compelling story! 

With the new manga furthering the lore of the world of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, this is the best time to dive in! Don't forget to share your thoughts on the exciting new title! 

Life beyond death...A foolish notion with which to deceive oneself. But what happens when death does not come? Hanbei the Undying has lived longer than most, yet he's found no sense of purpose along the way-no reason to swing his blade.

With a history vaster than most could hope to comprehend, it's only natural to wonder: Who exactly was he before he met the Wolf? Find out in this must-read tale for fans of FromSoftware's hit game SEKIRO: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying will be published in digital and print, on June 23rd!
