Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will be getting a new update on October 29, 2020, that will add a boss rush, new outfits, and a Remnants system that will allow players to send messages to help others on their journey.
As revealed on the Activision Games Blog, the first part of this update is the Reflections and Gauntlets of Strength, which can be accessed through the Sculptor's Idols.
The Reflections of Strength allows for players to take on any previously defeated boss. The Gauntlets of Strength, on the other hand, has you facing off against Sekiro's bosses in consecutive battles. If the Wolf (player character) were to die at any point, he would have to start from the beginning.

The Sculptor's Idols will also allow the Wolf to change into three new outfits, including Tengu and Old Ashina Shinobi. Two of these outfits can be unlocked via Gauntlets, while the third is unlocked by beating the game once. It should be noted that all outfits are purely cosmetic in nature.
Lastly, Remnants are recordings of player's actions for up to 30 seconds at a time. After a player records one of these Remnants, it can be uploaded along with a message to help others making their way through Sekiro.
If a community member watches and rates a Remnant, the owner of it will have have their HP recover for free.
This will be especially helpful for those Sekiro players who are playing for the first time on Google Stadia, which will be released on the streaming service on October 29, 2020 as well.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was released in 2019 and, in our review, we said "Sekiro evolves From Software’s formula into a stylish stealth-action adventure that, naturally, emphasizes precision and skill in its combat. It walks the line between deliberate and patient stealth and breakneck melee combat against threats both earthly and otherworldly."
