Gamescom 2025: Sekiro: No Defeat Anime Begins Streaming in 2026

The animation will be exclusive to Crunchyroll.

Fans are finally getting more Sekiro... in the form of a new anime series. Launching next year exclusively on Crunchyroll. Sekiro: No Defeat is slated for 2026 and this is your first look at the animation:

Here's what fans can expect from the series:

Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry. Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro.

According to Crunchyroll, this is the tale of "a lord and his retainer" who are seeking to "restore balance to a nation on the edge." Once we've got a firm release date, we'll be sure to pass it along to all of you. In the meanwhile, why not tell us what you're thinking of Sekiro: No Defeat so far on social media?
