A major departure hardcore From fans may scoff at is the lack of corpse runs. Though you gain experience from defeating foes in Shadows Die Twice, that experience is now divorced from currency; gold now drops from enemies as well, and you won't lose either when you die. If you're afraid that change might upset the balance of tension and accomplishment that have come define From games, there's hope: Director Hidetaka Miyazaki says death will have a detrimental effect, but wasn't willing to tell us what that might be.

Instead, progression in Shadows Die Twice is slow but steady, as the experience points you gain from killing enemies fill a bar that eventually provides you with a skill point that, you guessed it, you can spend in a skill tree. But it wouldn't be a From game if there wasn't a catch: Before you can invest in a skill tree, you have to unlock it by finding a particular item as you explore the world.
