Publishers Aniplex and SEGA, and developer CyberConnect2 have released a new trailer for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2, introducing the game’s enhanced combat mechanics, new Gear system, and Path of Training mode.
Here are the details:
A variety of new systems and features make their debut in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2, including:
- Dual Ultimates – Players will be able to team up through certain character combinations to unleash stylish new Dual Ultimates to devastate your opponent. Use this power of forged bonds to your advantage!
- Gear System – Customize your loadout to your advantage in battle! In either Story Mode or VS Mode, players will be able to equip up to three items on their character, such as one that increases your resistance to poison, or one that slowly regenerates your health over time. There are a lot of different items to unlock through the game, so choose carefully!
- Training Paths – Challenge yourself against the Hashira! After choosing which path to follow and which Hashira to challenge, players will advance through a series of tournament brackets with ever-changing victory conditions that keep every tournament round fresh and engaging.
- The Path of a Demon Slayer – Need a refresher? This mode lets players review the story covered in The Hinokami Chronicles 1 by engaging in key battles from the Unwavering Resolve Arc up to the Mugen Train Arc.
- Mastery – By using different characters in either Story Mode or VS Mode, players will be able to increase that person’s “mastery” level. Each level up unlocks different rewards such as stickers or background images that can be used to customize their Slayer ID (the online player profile).
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on August 1 in Japan and August 5 in the west. While digital pre-orders were previously available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, pre-orders are also now available for Switch.
