Pretty sure Activision was only publishing and the IP belongs to From.

I mean, to be fair and probably not many people know this, but Bandai Namco owns shit and they're only publishing From games outside of Japan, where From publishing their games themselves. But this Activision Sekiro deal is far less clear than that. So, I'm afraid we need some very solid confirmation than "pretty sure".Pretty sure Activision was only publishing and the IP belongs to From.

Activision don't own the IP. They just have the publishing rights for the first game only.
I think not hearing news about a sequel = don't have a say on the IP is a bit too much stretch.
And? They release a game called "katana blade monkey power mudabitch" with revised game mechanics and it would sell 10 million copies.
Sure, but there's one problem. I want to get into the world of Sekiro with similar feel, gameplay loop, mechanics and combat again and as you can see, there's no From game similar to Bloodborne in terms of setting, art and gameplay mechanics still, is there? They haven't used or revised anything from that game ever again in any of their games they released since. There's no weapons transformations, no emphasis on aggressive play to survive and get your health back, you can't use firearms to replace a shield and most importantly, there's no other From game like Bloodborne still and there won't be another game like Sekiro unless it's Sekiro.
Holy fuck yes... more sekiro less elden ring !!! Letttssss gooooo
We don't need an expanded Sekiro universe. Sekiro begins and ends with Sekiro, and that's ok.
Fucking degenerate.
FS owns the Sekiro ip:

Well, Activision, EA and others sit on goldmine franchises and they do nothing with them. Harsh reality of life, but at least FROM is not wanking around and burning their good will with shitty products. They deliver, so I think we just need to wait a few years and something similar (or same) might pop up.
Demons Souls turned into Dark Souls
That's all I needed to know.FS owns the Sekiro ip:

Why Sekiro Isn't Owned By Xbox Despite Activision Acquisition
Microsoft is set to buy Activision Blizzard, but its control of previously-published properties like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice remains uncertain.
Now this can be a welcome alternative to Sekiro's sequel.Fun fact: FromSoftware also owns the Tenchu ip.
From Software buys Tenchu rights
Western publisher sells ninja series rights to Japanese publisher. Bizarre, eh?
Demon's Souls is different design-wise than other From games, even though gameplay loop and core mechanics are similar. They haven't made a similar game ever since.
Only time will tell, but it won't be the same.
Sekiro isn't a Souls game, imho.
It was not a Souls Game, that's the thing.
Activision doesn't own Sekiro IP, FROM themselves publish the game in Japan while Activision published it for west.
Yeah, I found that out already a few post above.
I have you not get Return of the Dragon ending? That one open up for sequel.
Their Diablo-like compulsive loot system is a fucking stinker, too.
Really? I thought it was more souls like then sekiro, but yes agree with the other points, was my biggest grip with wo long even though its the closest game to bloodborne
Facts. That's the one thing that keeps me from playing through Nioh 2 a second time. The tedium of going through so much loot and not having a clear understand of what's good for my build. Adding different stats to min max is just....it's never necessary for a normal playthrough and the end game doesn't really interest me after completing the story.
I disliked it at first then I realised that after the story run the game really opens up on the itemization and it started to make sense, the real problem with Nioh 2 is that it is way too big, 5 different runs and you unlock stuff at the 3rd run.... but the combat it's just on par with sekiro, or even better and I can't put it down.
Why you want to turn Ninja Gaiden into trash?
Lies of P?!
