Key Takeaways

📺 Sekiro celebrates a new chapter with an anime adaptation

The world of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is expanding beyond the blade with the announcement of an anime adaptation titled Sekiro: No Defeat. Streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll, this highly anticipated series will reimagine the brutal and beautifully tragic narrative that made Sekiro a standout among FromSoftware's catalog. While details on the release date are still under wraps, the official trailer offers a glimpse at the series' atmospheric tone and gorgeously animated combat sequences. If you've ever wondered what Sekiro would look like in full anime form, you won't be disappointed.


Crunchyroll's latest project has already made waves in the anime and gaming communities alike, with fans praising the bold visual direction and faithfulness to the original source material. According to Video Games Chronicle, Sekiro: No Defeat promises to retain the somber storytelling and rich Japanese folklore that earned the game Game of the Year accolades. As someone who's played Sekiro more times than I can count, I'm especially excited to see how the show handles the inner conflict of the Wolf and the brutal elegance of its combat in animated form.

📺 How to watch the new Resident Evil: Requiem trailer

Capcom is stirring the undead once more with Resident Evil: Requiem, a new entry in the long-running horror series. The first gameplay trailer premiered at Gamescom 2025 and introduces fans to Grace Ashcroft, a new protagonist navigating her twisted lineage alongside her mother, Alyssa. You can catch the trailer on IGN's YouTube channel, which highlights some intense action set pieces and an ominous new narrative direction. Resident Evil: Requiem is set to release on February 27, 2026, and early footage shows the game pushing the series' graphics engine to new, disturbing heights.


IGN's write-up on the reveal trailer dives deeper into Grace's story, teasing connections to the broader RE universe and raising questions about the absence of long-time characters like Leon Kennedy. While this new chapter may be a departure from the usual bioterror escapades, it looks poised to refresh the franchise with a blend of psychological horror and deeply personal stakes. The mother-daughter dynamic could introduce an emotional core the series hasn't explored in depth before.

📺 Black Myth sequel Zhong Kui brings new mythology to the spotlight

Black Myth: Wukong impressed many with its lush visuals and action-RPG flair, and now developer Game Science is back with a mythological curveball—Black Myth: Zhong Kui. Announced as a direct sequel, this new entry trades the legendary Monkey King for Zhong Kui, a ghost-banishing deity from traditional Chinese folklore. While not a figure from Journey to the West, Zhong Kui's rich mythos brings a fresh thematic direction, diving deep into spiritual warfare and moral complexity. You can view the eerie and evocative teaser trailer here.


According to IGN's coverage, Black Myth: Zhong Kui will retain the cinematic combat and fantastical environments that made its predecessor so visually arresting. But don't expect just a reskin—this game appears to pivot toward darker, more introspective storytelling, which could deepen the franchise's mythological roots. A separate Game Press article describes the new hero's journey as "chanting the banisher of evil", highlighting how this chapter could explore redemption, justice, and duty in a very different light from Wukong's mischievous rebellion.
