[REDACTED] will obviously be the canon ending for Sekiro, right?

Whichever ends with Bobby Kotick rubbing his palms together at the thought of a sequel is the one you're looking at.

Hope so, that was definitely my favourite, and the game that could exist beyond that is the most interesting. What happened to cut the dragon free and what is that place like now hah

oh yeah, the story behind how the power went away from china could be the new "hirata state" part
Shura ending needs to be canon. Imagine fighting Wolf consumed by it as a secret boss in Sekiro 2.
DS 1 2 and 3 operate on "yeah so the ending to DS1 just kept happening over and over forever until the last couple of dudes to do it said "fuck it" and bailed"
Metal Wolf Chaos doesn't end like this. Only the ones with Souls-like formats do
OP
OP
i can see this too, now that i think of it, the power has to go somwhere else
Yeah I just got this ending a few days ago for the first time and agree this is likely the direction of the sequel. Adventures with the divine child sounds sweet but so help me if they let her die in the next game there will be hell to pay.
This isn't a souls game.
Could always do a Buddha type flash sideways area where this happens without making it cannon
OP
OP
so you are telling me that the canon ending for DS1 is where the age of fire was extended?
OP
OP
make it this way, because shura ending ends with Emma dead, and no one wants that
I'd be okay if there wasn't a sequel but this feels like the most logical one to follow if they intend to continue using The Wolf as a protagonist.
Yeah pretty much. Someone had to link the flame in DS1 for DS3 to happen
OP

Linking the flame is nothing getting fixed. That world operates on an endless cycle of misery. It's like putting flex tape on a water leak
That wasnt the endings though. In ds1 you continue the cycle. In 2 the canon ending takes a different path via the dlc and in ds3 iirc again via the dlc what little is left escapes into a painting to avoid the inevitable end
Eh. It was pretty successful and the fact that there is an ending as open as this one tells us that From has at least thought about a continuation.
I see the homecoming ending as the most suitable for a potential mini DLC adventure but the Purification ending makes sense the most for a sequel for me. Set years later with a playable Kuro and how he handles the interior ministers taking over and Japan going into a new era.
Yeah probably. Purification is just too sad. ;_;
But I think Wolf needs to be the protagonist of Sekiro 2, I mean not only his name is the title, but the whole prosthetic arm/grappling hook thing needs to continue being a thing because it's so fun >.>
Holy shit... that'd be so incredible and chilling. I love the Shura ending for how incredibly dark and chilling it is.

I lol'ed
Yep I'm pretty damn confident that if a sequel to this comes (which it almost certainly will now after the critical acclaim and awards since Activision will want to capitalize), it's going Journey to the West on us, using the Dragon's Homecoming ending.
The Divine Child is going to be the one he ends up protecting next, filling the shoes that Kuro did in the first.

If the game gets a sequel - and that may be possible seeing as the game did well - I assumed from the start that ending would be the one they go with.
Of course, as the game has a lot of Tenchu vibes, I wouldn't be shocked if a cliffhanger ending with no sequel is also in line with that series. :(

homecoming ending is probably my least favourite ending
i guess i just like dark endings lol, and the others delivered that pretty well
severance was a bit underdeveloped maybe, so i think for me, the shura and purification endings felt the most poignant

They should do a separate sequel for each ending then brazenly attempt to tie it altogether in a final game.
that's the one where the little girl priestess takes the soul of the little Lord inside her as she and Sekiro depart for the West? Because yeah, that one needs to be canon. Give me Sekiro 2, damn it!
Only the souls games ever had sequels to determine which ending was canon and they picked the one that allowed them to make a sequel, not the one "where nothing got fixed". In sekiro's case, the ending OP mentioned is the one that most obviously gives room for a sequel.
It's obviously the ending where Sekiro becomes the sculptor and they heavy handedly go "we're saving this arm for a future ninja".
did no one else find the homecoming ending a bit narratively unsatisfying? to me it feels a bit like a cop out deus ex machina to achieve a somewhat happy ending. the other endings felt more consequential and made for better narrative arcs
Care to elaborate on what makes it so obviously Korean instead of just smugly declaring this?
A quick google search seems to show it's because of the type of dragon and the sword it carries, but it's debatable since it could be both.
The sword, specifically, as well as the number of digits for its hands.
Heh, fair enough. Just seems odd that folks would immediately assume "China". I'd like to think the sword in particular makes the origin rather obvious, and it's not like the dragon is a perfect match for Chinese depicted dragons, either.
Obviously, it's just West Japan and all this speculation is going to have been pointless.
