SEGA has confirmed
Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles, the video game based on the anime franchise
Demon Slayer, will be released on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in the west. The title will be available at retail and digitally on October 15 worldwide.
Developer CyberConnect2 is responsible for the arena fighter. The game’s campaign is based on the “Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc” and “Mugen Train Arc” of the anime. Set during the Japanese Taisho period, Tanjiro is a young boy who sells charcoal to make ends meet. While he’s away, a demon attacks his family and kills everyone except his younger sister, Nezuko, who is turned into a demon instead. Tanjiro seeks revenge by becoming a demon slayer, killing the demon responsible and turning his sister into a human being once more. All of the characters will be voiced by the anime’s original English and Japanese voice actors.
