CCG writes - "Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer managed to take the anime and manga community by storm. Back when the anime began in 2019, it was constantly trending among the community for the elegant and highly-stylized animation, and in its homeland was breaking records left and right, with Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Movie - Mugen Train becoming the highest-grossing anime movie of all time. Seems like everyone was watching it—except for me. Prior to this review, I did not watch or read a single episode or chapter of Demon Slayer. I was always curious about this intellectual property but managed to get distracted by other things. I do have history with developer CyberConnect2, who is most known for the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series. Those games adapted from its source material so well that supposedly Masashi Kishimoto said that it was a perfectly acceptable way to consume Naruto as a series. I just wanted to see if that could also be said of Demon Slayer ~Kimetsu no Yaiba~ The Hinokami Chronicles, as well as provide a completely unbiased viewpoint."
CyberConnect2 & Sega's 3D arena fighter ships over 3 million copies since October 2021 launch, game gets a deep discount in celebration of sales milestone.

There are three new characters available today for Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC. The Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke (Entertainment District) Character Pack is out now."
WTMG's Thomas Medina: "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is that rare anime game that has something for everyone. Established fans of the franchise get to play through a fantastic adaptation of the anime. Newcomers get a fantastic introduction to the anime franchise that took the world by storm. And people who don’t care about that at all and just want a fun flashy arena fighter to play around with get that in spades."
