After the massive success of its recent movie Mugen Train globally, the Demon Slayer franchise has started venturing into other fields, like video games, to cater to the likes of all of their fans!

The video game Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Hinokami Chronicles (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami Keppūtan) revealed a new trailer with English subtitles. The franchise announced that the game would also be available in English.

The trailer plays a monologue of Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of the series, in the background while showing a scene from the Final Selection arc where Tanjiro slays a demon.

Sega Asia also released a video about the development of the game and its graphics.

It shows how the scene of Tanjiro slaying the demon from the Final Selection was made and put into action. 

The whole video is a timelapse and shows us just how much work and detail go into making a single 30-second graphic. All the characters in the game will be playable and available in Japanese and English worldwide! 

Like the recent favorite of all Mugen Train fans: Rengoku Kyojuro!

For the Asian release of the game, it has been made available in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese Subtitles as well!

Another critical piece of news is that the staff released a visual of Tanjiro using the Hinokami Kagura technique, which he first uses in the Natagumo Mountain arc.

The latest information on “Kimetsu no Yaiba Hinokami Blood Futan” is posted in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 25 released today!

Tanjiro Kamado (Hinokami Kagura) participates in Versus Mode!

At the time of the battle at Nada Spider Mountain, I remembered the appearance of his late father dancing Kagura.
By applying that movement, I learned a new breathing “Hinokami Kagura”.

Just as we have seen in the anime, the scene is drawn pretty accurately, and the transitions are just smooth like butter!

Can’t believe that in a video game? Well, see for yourself!

About Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotoge. Its publication in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump began in February 2016 with 19 collected tankōbon volumes released as of present.

In a world filled with demons and demon slayers, Kimetsu no Yaiba follows the lives of two siblings Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado after— the murder of their family at the hands of a demon. Their hardship does not end there, as Nezuko’s life is spared only for her to live as a demon.

As the oldest sibling, Tanjiro vows to protect and cure his sister. The story traces the bond of this brother-sister or better yet, demon slayer and demon combo against the odds of an arch antagonist and the society.
