It was revealed last Monday that a video game based on the internationally-lauded anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba was in the works. Two news trailers for two new games have now been released, giving us a peek at what to expect.
Below is the trailer for the forthcoming PS4 title, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan, set to drop some time in 2021. It is being developed by CyberConnect 2, the same studio that developed Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.
Take a look inside the game’s development here:
A mobile battle royale game is also in development for iOS and Android. Titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Keppuu Kengeki Royale, it will be released sometime this year. See the trailer below.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba aired on Crunchyroll last year to international acclaim. A sequel film, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, will be released this year. It is being directed by Haruo Sotozaki at Ufotable.
