"Demon Slayer - The Hinokami Chronicles" was officially confirmed for its Western Release and English dub during this Summer of Gaming 2021, bringing the video game centered on "Kimetsu No Yaiba." The game would still focus on Tanjiro Kamado, the lead hero that has made his way into the Demon Slayer Corps, joined by familiar faces.
The popular manga and anime series have gone to a standstill after it released the canon movie of "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train," which has proven a key point in the storyline of the series.
'Demon Slayer - The Hinokami Chronicles'
If you still are not a fan of "Demon Slayer," maybe it is time to dust off your anime boots, and head to Netflix for the extensive first season of the series. The manga and anime series of "Kimetsu No Yaiba," is one of the most highly popular Shonen of the present generation, and it is a crowd favorite that captures the heart with its characters.
The originally uploaded trailer for "The Hinokami Chronicles" was taken down by its main uploader, Aniplex YouTube Channel from Sony Games Japan. The reason for this remains unknown, but at least there are others like Gematsu and IGN which have released a copy of it, alongside an English dub that confirms its new release.
The game would focus on an arena fighter platform game, which would also be a role-playing game (RPG) that would center mostly on Tanjiro's adventure in the manga. The game would feature key events from the series and movie but would include several produced content that would not necessarily be canon or part of the main storyline.
This is implemented so as not to spoil the manga and series content.
SEGA, CyberConnect 2 Brings the Game to Western Shores
According to IGN, "Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles" has been confirmed for a western region release, meaning that it would be released for the US or North American region. Those that will make this possible are SEGA and CyberConnect 2, both known for bringing anime or manga content into video game productions.
The US version of the game will be English-dubbed, and there are no hints whether it would allow a Japanese voice, with English subtitles to choose from.
The original version of the Japanese game would have the voice of Tanjiro Kamado in the series, for the game, but is not that clear for other characters like Inosuke, Zenitsu, and the like.
