Dataminer finds Sekiro's rope man was cut content

A dataminer revealed that Sekiro's giant rope man, used for transportation, was originally intended to be a boss fight or a level. This discovery suggests a scrapped gameplay element. Unused AI scripts and concept art indicate the rope man, a massive Wara ningyō doll, was meant to feature active gameplay, possibly involving combat while climbing. The dataminer measured the rope man at 191 meters tall. The final game uses the rope man for a single cutscene. The dataminer's findings offer insight into the development process of the game and the potential for a more complex encounter.
