Make way! Tanjiro Kamado and his demon slaying friends are slicing and dicing onto the Nintendo Switch in the fighting game Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles which launches on June 10th, 2022

The game, first released last October on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC, allows players to experience the battles from the hit Demon Slayer anime “Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc” and “Mugen Train Arc” storylines on the portable console for the first time.

The announcement was made to the official Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Twitter account earlier Monday.

At this time, only a physical edition of the game is available; fans who pre-order will also receive a code to unlock Tanjiro Kamado in his school uniform from the Kimetsu Academy short.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles uses a cel-shaded art style to recreate the feeling of watching the Demon Slayer anime as players explore the story-driven adventure mode or go head-to-head in the classic battle mode. A limited roster of playable characters include most of the main series cast with Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira and Giyu Tomioka. Additional characters must be unlocked through in-game purchases and as DLC.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is developed by CyberConnect2 Co. Ltd, and published By Sega, with involvement from Aniplex and the animation studio ufotable. The ESRB has rated the game T for Teens for multiple depictions of blood, violent demon slaying action and and some mild cursing (we’re looking at you, Inosuke).
