Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>has quickly become one of the biggest franchises in the world as it shattered Japanese box office records and became one of the best selling manga series of all time. Fans will have plenty to look forward to this year as\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>recently announced a second season to the anime and a brand new video game titled\u00a0Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami\u00a0Kepputan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Developed by CyberConnect2, the studio behind the\u00a0Naruto: Ultimate Ninja\u00a0<\/em>series, it appears that\u00a0Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami\u00a0Kepputan\u00a0<\/em>will be an arena fighting game. A recent demo showcased five playable characters from\u00a0Demon Slayer<\/a><\/em> as well as different movesets and mechanics that will appear in the game. Though a release date hasn’t been confirmed, Aniplex has stated that it will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n

Although some fans may be disappointed to see that the first adaptation of the Demon Slayer<\/em> series is a fighting game instead of an RPG or adventure, it makes sense from a narrative perspective as protagonist Tanjiro’s quest has only recently begun. Many of the plotlines from the first season of\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>remain unresolved and there\u00a0are plenty of new locations or characters that have yet to be revealed. Thankfully, the\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>game has been confirmed to include a story mode<\/a> together with its fighting mechanics.\u00a0Moreover, the fact that CybcerConnect2 is developing the game should excite fans given their track record with anime-based fighting games.<\/p>\n

CyberConnect2 is exceptional at creating a tight, responsive experience\u00a0within its games and the\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>game should be no different. One of the biggest draws of the\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>anime<\/a> was studio Ufotable’s ability to create stylized weapon effects and colorful breathing techniques for each of the characters. The\u00a0Demon Slayer\u00a0<\/em>game seems to nail that aspect of the anime well and this will likely translate to the flashy, fast-paced combat of the game.<\/p>\n
