It’s been a while since we last heard about CyberConnect2’s upcoming PS4 game, Demon Slayer: Hinokami Kepputan, but news will arrive in issue #10 (2021) of Jump. The magazine will release on February 8, 2021, so details will probably leak sometime before that day. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089.]
Aniplex planned to share news on Demon Slayer: Hinokami Kepputan at a two-day Demon Slayer festival on February 13-14, 2021. However, the event was postponed due to COVID-19 early in January 2021. Since issue #10 of Weekly Shonen Jump will release around then, the magazine will likely include the announcements originally planned for the festival.
Hinokami Kepputan will be a demon-slaying action game based on the popular manga and anime series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Aniplex originally announced the title in March 2020, along with a Demon Slayer arcade game and a mobile game. We’ve yet to see much gameplay from Hinokami Kepputan, but we got a peek at Tanjiro Kamado performing breathing techniques in it.
CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama mentioned in October 2020 that development was going well, but things were hectic due to various adjustments. In any case, the developers are apparently focusing on cramming it with content to keep the game selling.
Demon Slayer: Hinokami Kepputan will release on the PlayStation 4 in 2021. In case you missed it, the Demon Slayer Tamagotchi Hashira models are releasing worldwide. The Demon Slayer anime recently made its Netflix debut.
