A new modification for FromSoftware's action game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has emerged, transforming the ninja-focused title into what modders are calling 'Jet Set Sekiro.'
The mod significantly alters the original gameplay mechanics of Shadows Die Twice, though specific details about the extent of the changes have not been detailed. The modification appears to incorporate elements reminiscent of the Jet Set Radio series.
Comparison to Classic Gaming
Fran Ruiz described the modification's impact, stating: 'This mod is like one of those secret levels you would get in an old PS2 game that made you want a full game from it.'
The comparison references the PlayStation 2 era of gaming, when developers often included hidden levels or Easter eggs that offered dramatically different gameplay experiences from the main game.
