Kadokawa Registers Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Anime Domain, Signaling Official Adaptation

EuroDNS records validate Kadokawa’s domain filing setting the stage for a formal anime announcement pending details on format or studio involvement.

Overview

  • Kadokawa Corporation secured the sekiro-anime.jp domain on July 31, 2025, with EuroDNS records confirming a one-year registration window.
  • The new domain represents the first concrete evidence of an anime adaptation after more than two years of speculation.
  • Visitors to sekiro-anime.jp currently encounter an inactive page, leaving the project’s structure, release timetable and creative leads unannounced.
  • This move follows a trend of successful game-to-anime transitions, including Castlevania, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Ghost of Tsushima.
  • Industry chatter points to Qzil.la as a potential animation partner, though neither Kadokawa nor FromSoftware have officially confirmed any studio involvement.
