Due to concerns of numerous fans, the makers of the anime implementation of the video game “Sekiro: Shadows The Twice” made a statement on the possible use of artificial intelligence a few days ago. We summarize.
No use of AI
It was recently confirmed as part of Gamescom 2025 that the video game “Sekiro: Shadows The Twice” will receive an anime adaptation entitled “Sekiro: No Defeat”. However, many fans were very concerned when they found that the anime studio Qzil.la is responsible for production.
The young company is particularly known for the use of artificial intelligence. On its website, it emphasizes that with the help of AI it wants to optimize both the production processes and the creative design in order to increase the efficiency and productivity in animation production.
The first trailer also raised the suspicion of many fans that AI could also play a role in “Sekiro: No Defeat”. The growing debates have finally led to the production committee of the series made an official explanation and thus significantly defused the discussions:
»We would like to inform you about the production methods of the ANIME series› Sekiro: No Defeat ‹announced on August 20, 2025. In order to convey the unique and incomparable stimulus of the original game in full, the work is produced as a fully hand-drawn 2D animation, completely without AI. «
We are expected to find out what the end result looks like in the course of 2026, because then Crunchyroll shows the anime worldwide exclusively in the simulcast.
