Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles[lower-alpha 1] is an upcoming 3D fighting game developed by CyberConnect2. Based on the 2019 anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the game is set to be released by Aniplex in Japan, and by Sega worldwide, for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in October 2021.

Overview

Adapted from the events of the first season of the anime series and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, the game's single player story mode follows Tanjiro Kamado, the series' protagonist, as he joins the Demon Slayer Corps and faces off against various demons in order to turn his sister Nezuko, who has become a demon, back into a human. The story features some exploration elements, and is told through various cutscenes and boss battles with demons seen in the anime series.[1]

The Hinokami Chronicles also features a versus mode, where players form teams of two fighters from the roster of 18 characters, including the six who appeared in the spin-off anime Chuukou Ikkan!! Kimetsu Gakuen Monogatari. The game supports both local and online multiplayer.[1]

Development

The game was first announced in March 2020. It was to be published by Aniplex for the PlayStation 4; the company previously produced the 2019 anime adaptation.[2] Later that month, first footage was shown, along with the announcement that the game, titled Kimetsu no Yaiba Hinokami Keppūtan, will be developed by CyberConnect2, the company known for developing the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series.[3] Following months of development, the game was reannounced via the issue of Weekly Shonen Jump to be a multiplatform arena fighting game for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows.[4] Ufotable, the animation studio behind the anime series, has produced several key illustrations for the game.
