What's Happening?
A modder known as Ionian-MikiriyAKATotallyNotShinobi has created a unique modification for the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, turning it into a skateboarding simulation called 'Jet Set Sekiro'. This mod allows players to skate around the Fountainhead
Palace, a location from the original game, collecting spray paint canisters to graffiti tag select spots. The mod repurposes Sekiro's animations for skateboarding, creating a new movement system. This crossover is reminiscent of past integrations of skateboarding into other games, such as Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 featuring Darth Maul and Spyro 3's skateboarding levels. The mod is available on the Sekiro Nexus and has been showcased on the Mod Server YouTube channel.
