Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 announced for Nintendo Switch

Today, SEGA and CyberConnect2 unveiled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2. The game is due out on Nintendo Switch sometime in 2025.

This one is a sequel to the original game that previously made it to Nintendo’s console. The original title sold over four million units worldwide.

Here’s what’s been shared thus far:

The sequel’s Story Mode will pick up where the previous entry left off, allowing fans to once again put themselves in the well-traveled shoes of Tanjiro Kamado. This time, fans will be able to relive many of the exciting moments from “Entertainment District Arc,” “Swordsmith Village Arc,” and “Hashira Training Arc.”

The VS Mode playable roster is larger than ever, with over 40 playable characters to choose from! That includes Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, two Hashira who bravely fought against two Upper Rank demons of the Twelve Kizuki.

Players can expect all characters from the original Hinokami Chronicles to make a return in the base roster, including the demons that were added in the free post-launch updates and the Entertainment District Arc characters that were originally part of the first game’s paid DLC. The nine Hashira, the highest rank of the Demon Slayer Corps., will also join the game as playable characters.
