Avenge your family – Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles coming this fall

One of the unspoken rules in the world of pop culture: every breakout anime must always receive a video game to go along with it. In the case of Demon Slayer, this one looks pretty good so far, featuring unique boss battles, a gripping storyline straight from the anime and movie, and a great art style. Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles releases October 15 later this year for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Additionally, those who pre-order the game will be able to start playing on October 13, 2021, two days early.

The game is described as an arena fighter, and it looks similar to the Legend of Korra game from a few years back, only far more polished and fun-looking. Particle effects and drama are on full display in the story trailer, but check it out for yourself:

Follow Tanjiro through the story from the “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” anime as he faces demons in order to turn his sister Nezuko, who has become a demon, back into a human. Players can expect:

• Exhilarating Arena Battles – Master the multitude of spectacular skills of a wide roster of characters from the anime, including Tanjiro and Nezuko, to overcome challengers in head-to-head battle, locally and online.
• Moving Drama – Take up the sword of Tanjiro Kamado and guide his journey to become a Demon Slayer and turn his sister Nezuko back into a human.
• Thrilling Boss Battles – Action and drama reach their peak in specially designed battles against powerful demons that will test Tanjiro’s mettle.
• Original Anime Voice Cast – The original English and Japanese casts of the anime return to bring their authentic portrayals to the game.
