Crunchyroll announced today that Sekiro: No Defeat, the fully hand-drawn anime adaptation produced by KADOKAWA, Qzil.la and ARCH, will begin streaming as a series in January 2027. The series will be available exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide, excluding Japan, China, Korea, Russia, and Belarus. Sekiro: No Defeat will premiere on Crunchyroll as an eight-episode series featuring additional content beyond the theatrical version currently screening in Japan.
Crafted with reverence for the original, Sekiro: No Defeat adapts the game’s unforgettable story: a tale of loyalty, blood, and sacrifice set in a fantastical reimagining of Sengoku-era Japan. The expanded episodic format will offer audiences an even deeper experience of Wolf and Kuro’s journey.
Originally slated for a limited three-week theatrical run, Sekiro: No Defeat will continue its theatrical run in Japan due to popular demand. Ahead of its theatrical release in Japan, Sekiro: No Defeat screened as part of Annecy’s “Feature Films: Midnight Specials” program and made its North American premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
