When I saw Activision’s post regarding the massive update they have for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, I almost thought that the 2019 Game of the Year winner might receive the same award this year. The new additions to the game almost constitute a full expansion pack, delivering what its players have been demanding for the last few months. I personally believe that this is how developers like From Software keep a huge and loyal following throughout the years. Let’s run down what the update has to offer and talk about a little how these additions can make the eternal.

当 我看到 Activision 关于Sekiro：Shadows Die Twice的重大更新 的帖子时 ，我几乎认为 2019年度最佳游戏获得者 今年可能会获得相同的奖项。 游戏的新增内容几乎构成了完整的扩展包，可满足其玩家近几个月来的要求。 我个人认为，这就是像From Software这样的开发人员多年来保持巨大忠诚的方式。 让我们简单介绍一下该更新所提供的内容，并讨论一下这些添加如何使之永恒。

力量的反映 (Reflections of Strength)

Reflections of Strength represent a kind of a boss rush experience where you can challenge yourself to fight previously-defeated bosses. They give you a chance to practice and hone your skills against a specific boss so you can master Sekiro’s unforgiving combat. Precision has always been key to the game and sometimes we just don’t have the time to run through an entire level to get to one boss fight. Additionally, this mode can help against non-traditional bosses that require more forward-thinking or battling that pesky Demon of Hatred without dying so you can consider yourself part of Sekiro’s veterans. However, I believe that Reflections of Strength runs deeper than this, because of the game’s addition of Gauntlets of Strength.

力量的反映代表一种上司奔波的经历，您可以挑战自己与以前失败的上司战斗。 他们为您提供了与特定老板进行练习和磨练技能的机会，因此您可以掌握Sekiro的无情战斗。 精确度一直是游戏的关键，有时我们只是没有时间去完成一个完整的关卡来进行一场老板战斗。 此外，此模式还可以帮助那些需要更多前瞻性思维或与讨厌的恶魔恶魔战斗而不死的非传统上司，因此您可以认为自己是Sekiro退伍军人的一部分。 但是，我认为，由于游戏增加了力量护手，因此力量反射比这更深入。

Boss rushes are a good display of skill and a way to show how dedicated players are into the game. Much like Hollow Knight’s free Godmaster update, fans of Sekiro will certainly try this mode out and see how good they are tackling certain obstacles from a variety of different bosses. And since the game already has so many bosses, with each having their own unique mechanics and players experimenting on various skills and prosthetic tools in handling these bosses, the game’s replayability becomes endless in theory.

老板奔忙是对技能的很好展示，也是一种显示敬业玩家如何融入游戏的方式。 就像Hollow Knight的免费Godmaster更新一样， Sekiro的粉丝肯定会尝试这种模式，看看他们在克服各种老板的某些障碍方面的表现如何。 而且，由于游戏中已经有那么多的上司，每个上司都有自己独特的机制，并且玩家在处理这些上司时会尝试各种技能和修复工具，因此从理论上讲，游戏的可玩性变得无穷无尽。

力量护手 (Gauntlets of Strength)

Gauntlets of Strength are single-life challenges for the most dedicated and skilled Sekiro players. There’s not much information regarding this content aside for the fact that once you die, you have to start from the beginning.

对于最专注和技能最强的Sekiro选手来说，力量护手是单身挑战。 除了此内容之外，关于此内容的信息很少，因为一旦您死了，就必须从头开始。

Oh, the thrill!

哦，快感！

Sekiro is already an unforgiving game. This added layer will certainly draw in new and old fans of the game. Maybe it’ll also bring in those Dark Souls and Bloodborne fans who think the game isn’t hard enough for them. There will be various players who will be showing their own build and experimenting with the most efficient way of tackling such a challenge. Since Sekiro is primarily a single-player game, it will bring the entire community together to discuss the various avenues for approach when it comes to this challenge. It will bring in players together to see how far they can go. It will make the thrill of going through the game’s challenging moments all that sweeter. Overall, it will show how the game’s community has mastered the game throughout the last few months.

塞奇罗已经是一个令人宽容的游戏。 这个增加的层一定会吸引新老游戏迷。 也许还会吸引那些认为游戏对他们来说不够困难的“ 黑暗之魂”和“ 血腥”粉丝。 将有各种各样的参与者展示自己的构建，并尝试以最有效的方式应对这一挑战。 由于Sekiro主要是一款单人游戏，因此它将把整个社区召集在一起，共同探讨应对挑战的各种途径。 它将汇集玩家，看看他们能走多远。 这将使体验游戏中充满挑战的时刻的乐趣变得更加甜蜜。 总体而言，它将显示游戏社区在过去几个月中如何精通游戏。

The sure truth about this though is that everyone will be flocking to Twitch or YouTube to see their favorite content creators have a try this mode. So get ready for your feeds to be filled by these kinds of videos.

不过，与此有关的确切事实是，每个人都将涌向Twitch或YouTube，以查看自己喜欢的内容创作者尝试此模式。 因此，准备好将这些视频填充到您的供稿中。

新装 (New Outfits)

This one I have been waiting for quite some time. When I got the game and finished I thought I achieve some sort of new skin for Sekiro, but only received the New Game+ in the end. But it has finally come and it is all for free!

我已经等了很长时间了。 当我拿到游戏并完成游戏时，我以为我为Sekiro有了一些新的表象 ，但最后只获得了New Game +。 但是它终于来了，而且一切都是免费的！

There are three outfits included in the coming patch: One you can unlock by finishing the game once, the other two are unlockable by finishing the game’s gauntlets. I’m quite excited to see these new outfits even if I have to watch others who have it since I don’t think I have the determination and skill to finish the game’s gauntlets. But hey, I’ll try!

即将发布的补丁中包含三套装备：一种可以通过完成一次游戏来解锁，另两种可以通过完成游戏的手套来解锁。 我很高兴看到这些新装备，即使我不得不看着其他拥有新装备的人也是如此，因为我认为我没有决心和技巧来完成比赛的任务。 但是，我会尝试！

I think new outfits are pretty cool! I also think that’s my old gamer side of me who looks back to classic Resident Evil games that reward me costumes when I finish the game. I don’t think that these new outfits will affect the replayability of the game that much, but it is a good addition for those who want to show off what they got since two of the outfits are in-line with their achievements in the game. It can also be the gateway drug for the multiple mod skins that exist in the PC version of the game!

我认为新装很酷！ 我也认为那是我的老玩家，回顾经典的《 生化危机》游戏，当我完成游戏时会奖励我服装。 我认为这些新装备不会对游戏的可重玩性产生太大影响，但是对于那些想要炫耀自己所得到的东西的人来说，这是一个很好的补充，因为其中两个装备都与他们在游戏中的成就保持一致。 它也可以是PC版游戏中存在的多个mod皮肤的网关药物！

残余物 (Remnants)

Remnants are similar to that of Bloodborne’s specters, where players can see a silhouette of other people playing the game, watching their untimely demise as some sort of warning to others. However, Remnants are quite different because players get to dictate when they want to record them and when to show them. So this means that players can choose to show off their moves to others or just show an epic showdown against the many bosses in the game. Players that choose to watch and rate another player’s Remnant can help that certain player as it would have their hit points recovered without the need for shrines. This is a pretty cool gameplay mechanic, but it is not clear entirely as to how it works, and I’m quite sure that they would remove this feature for the gauntlets.

残迹类似于血腥幽灵的残骸，在血腥幽灵中，玩家可以看到其他人在玩游戏时的身影，看着自己过早的消亡，这是对他人的某种警告。 但是，残差完全不同，因为玩家可以决定何时记录和显示它们。 因此，这意味着玩家可以选择向其他人炫耀自己的举动，也可以只对着游戏中的许多老板进行史诗般的对决。 选择观看并评价另一名玩家的剩余物品的玩家可以帮助该名特定玩家，因为无需神rine就可以恢复其生命值。 这是一个非常酷的游戏机制，但尚不清楚其工作方式，我很确定他们会为手套移除此功能。

I thought that this feature would be added in the game during its launch, but I thought wrong. I don’t think that this feature is all that amazing, since my experience with it Bloodborne felt spoiler-y, and I personally believe that the lack of specters is one of the many ways Sekiro distinguishes itself from other From Software games. But it is a welcome addition for new players who want to learn new tricks in tackling bosses or obstacles without opening a YouTube video or a wiki page for that certain topic. The game has a lot of mechanics to master and I think the Remnants addition can easily teach new and old players alike.

我以为该功能会在发布时添加到游戏中，但我认为错了。 我不认为这个功能是所有惊人的，因为我有这方面的经验血源性觉得扰流板-Y，而且我个人认为，缺乏幽灵的是在许多方面Sekiro区别自己与其他从软件的游戏之一。 但是对于希望学习新技巧来应对老板或障碍而又不需打开该主题的YouTube视频或Wiki页面的新玩家来说，这是一个受欢迎的补充。 该游戏需要掌握许多技巧，我认为残余的添加内容可以轻松地教会新老玩家。

结论 (Conclusion)

Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice is already an amazing and very replayable game. These gameplay additions in this new update only amplify that by creating additional depth for those who are returning to the game or are still planning to buy the game. You could argue that these gameplay features have already been available to PC players through the form of mods, it‘s not quite the same feeling when it is added by the developers themselves.

Sekiro：Shadow Die Twice已经是一款了不起的游戏，非常具有重玩性。 在此新更新中，这些增加的游戏玩法只会通过为返回游戏或仍打算购买游戏的用户创造更多的深度来扩大这种效果。 您可能会说这些游戏功能已经通过mod形式供PC玩家使用，当开发人员自己添加这些功能时，感觉并不太相同。

It is also a way for From Software to stave off the hunger coming from their fans for the long-awaited Elden Ring. But one thing is for sure, this expansion-like update will inject new life into the game and could bring about its resurgence in 2020.

这也是From Software避免他们的粉丝对期待已久的Elden Ring的渴望的一种方式。 但是可以肯定的是，这种类似扩展的更新将为游戏注入新的活力，并可能在2020年实现复苏。

The update is scheduled on October 29.

更新计划于10月29日进行。
