Sekiro 2

Who else is waiting for Sekiro 2 without even having Sekiro 1 and having played it?

As someone who saw the "true ending", I don't know.

Part of me, wants a sequel. The other part of me wants this game to be what it is - a standalone story with no need for a sequel. Sequelitis is destroying the movie and games industries, stifling new ideas with the preference for "safe, reliable remakes and remasters."

I don't want to hear stories of people like Hideo Kojima being chained to an I.P. with no chance of making something else. For example, every Metal Gear Solid game after 2 was meant to be "the last one in the series" but due to fan pressure and executive pressures, he had to keep churning them out.

So, no, a sequel is not needed at all. One and done is all this story needed.

I want a sequel if it is made by the same team and because they want to. Otherwise FromSoftware can just keep doing what they want as far as I'm concerned. They are masters of their craft and I enjoy how fresh they keep things with new IPs all the time so either way, I'm happy.

You have a point, a sequel could end up ruining the original, which is already well established. More always that feeling of wanting more, even if it's a spin off

I'd be down for a spiritual successor for it. Think Elden Ring to DS. Elden Ring is basically open world Dark Souls 4 with no Dark souls established lore attached. I'd be down seeing something random with 90% of combat philosophy clearly inherited from Sekiro and everything else a different IP/addition
