Good news for "SEKIRO" fans who have been sweating, wrestling, and snapping their controllers as they slowly make their way through its brutal and punishing battles: an ongoing update will add a new feature that will allow players to redo single battles and "Gauntlet of Strength" challenges as many times as they wish. The new feature will allow you to redo single battles and "Gauntlet of Strength" challenges as many times as you like. Hope you've been studying the blades.

"With this update, you will be able to participate in "Reflections of Strength." A "Reflections of Strength" is a rematch with a previously defeated boss, accessible through "Sculptor's Idol. These reflections are for the bravest warriors ...... or may help prepare for the Gauntlet of Strength, a single-life challenge where only the most foolish warrior is truly tested," said publisher Activision.

"As the Gauntlet defines it, if Wolf dies anywhere, he has to start over. Don't you like a challenge?"

Another major feature that will be added in the update is the ability to record up to 30 seconds of gameplay and tag it in a text message to share with friends. Called "Remnants," these clips can be used to "share strategies and tips," according to From Software. In any case, if other players see and appreciate your "Remnants," your HP will be restored for free, even if you don't use the "Sculptor's Idol" or consumables. It's like breaking the fourth wall if you ask me, but it will be interesting to see how this actually feels.

There will also be three new Wolf skins (including Old Ashina Shinobi and Tengu) that can be unlocked through gameplay. Two of them can be unlocked with the Gauntlet, and the third can be obtained by completing the game.

Personally, I don't think I'd be interested in endlessly playing a game that I thought was just too difficult, but obviously not everyone thinks so, and for those who do, this update could be a real boon.

Fans will have to wait a while: by the way, the update is free and will not be released until October 29.
