Aniplex has released the fourth official trailer for Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 , a direct sequel to the 2021 game Kimetsu no Yaiba . The new video highlights not only the improvements in visuals and gameplay, but also confirms exciting new content for fans.

Paid DLC includes characters from the new movie

As announced, the game will feature a Character Pass DLC , bringing fighters that appear in the movie Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Part 1: The Return of Akaza , already available in Japanese cinemas. These characters will be available for matches in VS mode, expanding the combat options.

Furthermore, Muzan Kibutsuji , the main villain of the series, will be added for free after launch in a special update. Therefore, everyone will have the chance to control him at no additional cost.

Special edition launching in August

The game will be released in Japan on August 1, 2025 , and globally on August 5 of the same year. However, those who purchase the digital deluxe edition will be able to play up to five days earlier .

This edition includes bonus characters such as Kyojuro Rengoku , Tengen Uzui , and members of the Hashira, as well as exclusive costumes and voices for VS mode. In Japan, there will be a physical edition with a collectible figure and digital goodies. Pre-ordering also guarantees exclusive illustrations from the ufotable .

The story continues directly from the first game and covers the Entertainment District , Blacksmith Village , and Hashira Training . The VS mode will include over 40 playable characters , including Muichirō Tokitō and Mitsuri Kanroji.

Finally, all the fighters from the previous game will return, including demons and past DLCs. The title is being developed again by CyberConnect2 , with publishing by Aniplex.
