Step Into Tanjiro’s shoes in Demon Slayer’s first console game entry

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the hottest anime property going right now. The recent Mugen Train film just shattered almost all previous box office records. The manga is outselling the ENTIRE comic book industry, and soon the 2nd season of the anime will be upon us later this year.

In time for the upcoming second season release, CyberConnect2 will release Demon Slayer: Hinokami Kepputan. The game will cover the story of Demon Slayer’s first season as seen in the anime. Players will take control of Tanjiro as he battles to demons in an attempt to find a way to turn his sister Nezuko back into a human.

The game will also feature a Versus Mode that pits one player vs. another in local or online multiplayer. The game engine is of course the same one that churned out numerous Naruto titles, so we can be sure that much of the same solid gameplay will be present here. The game will be released on October 14, 2021 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
