Demon Slayer game looks pretty, but familiar in new gameplay footage
Demon Slayer made some big waves among anime fans thanks to a gorgeously-produced TV series back in 2019, and the series keeps exploding in popularity. The Mugen Train film is now the highest-grossing movie in Japan’s history, and the original manga keeps growing, too. Naturally, a game wouldn’t be far behind, and the folks at CyberConnect2 are bringing us pretty much the exact adaptation you’d expect.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan, as the full title goes, follows the formula of previous CyberConnect2 anime games like the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series. It’s an arena fighter where you select a team of familiar characters from the show and brawl with your opponents in the traditional style.
Given
Demon Slayer‘s otherwordly popularity, it’s not surprising to see its merchandise get sold out regularly in Japan. Retailers occasionally restock limited items, but it’s pretty rare. In this case, anime and manga character goods shop CharaDepa will restock several limited
Demon Slayer items from 2020 during the week of January 10, 2021, including a scrunchie inspired by Shinobu. [Thanks,
Realize announced that its CharacterDepart will restock quite a bit of
Demon Slayer merchandise that completely sold out. Its selection will include a scrunchie based on Shinobu Kocho’s outfit, clear files, a shot glass, and keychains. There’s also a set of five wooden good luck charms (omamori), which tend to be a hot commodity in Japan around New Year’s, so expect those to sell out again as well.
