As reported by Gematsu, publisher Aniplex and developer CyberConect2 shared some new information and screenshots of the game. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC later in 2021. A PlayStation 4 version was announced beforehand.
Here’s a quote provided by Anplex and translated by Gematsu:
The Gematsu article also mentions that the studio behind the Demon Slayer anime also did visuals for the game.
Demon Slayer In 2021
CyberConect2 is probably best known for their Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series and 2020’s Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Having that in mind, you can expect some top-notch fighting here. These games also get later releases in the US and Europe, so it might be 2022 by the time people outside of Japan get their hands on this one. However, it’s good to know that the roster of good anime fighting games is increasing.
Publisher Aniplex is best known for Naruto and Black Butler movies. It’s always interesting to see an anime publisher work with a game developer closely. It can only mean good things. And a good creative direction.
