Handheld Mode Breathing, First Technique

The Blade of Demon Destruction can now be wielded by Switch gamers with today’s release of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles on Nintendo Switch. And to make sure you look good doing so, you can wield it in the brand-new Kimetsu Academy Summer Uniform Costumes or the Butterfly Mansion Patient Wear.

In Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles players will follow Tanjiro from joining the Demon Slayer Corps through the Mugen Train battle alongside the Flame Hashira: Kyojuro Rengoku! The game’s original 18 playable characters are featured, and the Nintendo Switch release also includes the 6 playable demons that were added as updates for the other platforms: Rui, Akaza, Yahaba, Susamaru, Yushiro & Tamayo, and Enmu.

Key game features include:

  • Exhilarating Arena Battles – Master the multitude of spectacular skills of a wide roster of characters from the anime and the series’ official spinoff to overcome challengers in head-to-head battle, locally and online (the latest patch and a Nintendo Switch Online account are required for online play).
  • A Moving Drama – Take up the sword as Tanjiro Kamado and guide his journey to become a Demon Slayer and turn his sister Nezuko back into a human.
  • Thrilling Boss Battles – Action and drama reach their peak in specially designed battles against powerful demons that will test Tanjiro’s mettle.
  • The Original Anime Voice Cast – The original English and Japanese voice casts of the anime return to bring their authentic portrayals to the game.
