After winning over anime fans, the Demon Slayer franchise is currently targeting game otakus.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles, the 3D fighting game, was released last month and has already carved its place among action genre games.
You get to play as Tanjiro and can defeat demons, name a better through which you can interact with the anime more! So, of course, the game is a hot seller.
Well, it seems that the creators are about to add some more fun elements to amp up the game.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles will be adding Yahaba and Susamaru as new playable characters. Both the demons will be added with the second free update of the game.
Both Yahaba and Susamaru are the main antagonists of the Asakusa arc in the anime. Although both the characters received their debut in the anime’s first season, it is only now that they are being included in the game.
Character trailers for Yahaba and Susamaru have also been revealed:
The PV shows Yahaba slamming down Tanjiro after his kimono got dirty. I have to say, the attention to detail is what makes this game popular.
Susamaru’s ability, Hiasobi Temari, has been used in the game as her special power. With a stunning character design, I bet many players will want to use her character.
The game has three free upgrades scheduled. Rui and Akaza were added to the game with the first update.
With tons of playable characters and unique quirks, The Hinokami Chronicles has solidified its position in the hearts of both anime and game otakus.
All that’s left is to guess the next set of characters who will join the chaos in the third update.
