FromSoftware’s lastest action game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been out for about a month at this point, but the team behind the game is still actively working on the project.
As announced today, Sekiro is set to now receive a new title update across all three of the game’s platforms. The update is set to land in most regions around the world tomorrow on April 23 while those of us in North America should see it dropping around 9:00pm EST later tonight.
As for what this update will bring, well, it’s mostly straightforward balance changes and bug fixes. Some of the biggest changes include Spirit Emblem cost adjustments for certain prosthetic tools and combat arts, along with other damage-based changes against certain enemies and bosses.
You can find the full list of changes that will be arriving with update v1.03 down below. And if you haven’t checked out our review of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice just yet, you can find it here.
