SEGA is excited to announce Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles will be released in Australia, 15th October 2021, for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X and Xbox One. The game is now available to pre-order at Australian retailers.

The Hinokami Chronicles is a spectacular arena fighter from the team at CyberConnect2 that lets players relive the memorable moments of “Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc” and “Mugen Train Arc”.

It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human and kill the demon that massacred his family.

Players can expect:

• Exhilarating Arena Battles – Master the multitude of spectacular skills of a wide roster of characters from the anime, including Tanjiro and Nezuko, to overcome challengers in head-to-head battle, locally and online.
• Moving Drama – Take up the sword of Tanjiro Kamado and guide his journey to become a Demon Slayer and turn his sister Nezuko back into a human.
• Thrilling Boss Battles – Action and drama reach their peak in specially designed battles against powerful demons that will test Tanjiro’s mettle.
• Original Anime Voice Cast – The original English and Japanese casts of the anime return to bring their authentic portrayals to the game.

We also have information to share regarding the pre-order options and additional content featured in the retail editions of the game.
