Game news Demon Slayer: finally a release date for the fighting game … but in Japan
While the animated film is still talking of him, a new game Demon Slayer is just around the corner and its release is slowly taking shape: it actually goes by the cute name of Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles and is still just about right revealing its release date … in the Land of the rising sun.
It’s been a while since Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles was announced: today we know that it will take the form of a punchy fighting game with famous faces like Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira in its cast and Giyu Tomioka , Sakonji Urokodaki, Makomo or Sabito. Everything is developed by Aniplex and since the new trailers follow one another we poor westerners will be (impatiently) waiting for a release date.
We have one today, but unfortunately it only affects the one planned in Japan: It is therefore set for October 14, 2021 at a price of 8,360 yen (or 62.77 dollars) for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via Steam. Note that after a stupid and nasty changeover, a Digital Deluxe Edition has also been announced for 9,900 yen or 74.31 dollars.
Finally, an “ultimate” version is also promised, which is only reserved for the PS4:
Note that these many details are taken from the famous magazine Famitsufrom its last edition published in Japan. Unfortunately, Aniplex has still not given details on a western release: however, some see it as a guide to arriving in Europe as the English dubbing is well and properly planned. We keep our fingers crossed.
