Players will be able to use various characters from the Demon Slayer series and move them around on a board modeled after locations from the manga and anime. Tanjiro, Nezuko Zenitsu, Inosuke, and all nine Hashira members are the characters currently announced to be in the game. As the player explore locations during the daytime through rolling the dice, minigames can be triggered in order to gain strength. At nighttime, players will have to hunt and slay demons. The winner of the game is declared the strongest Demon Slayer. Up to four players can play together both online and locally.
The English language version will be published by Sega outside of Japan under the name Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board. Sega announced back on September 13, 2023 that the game is set to release worldwide in 2024.
Currently, this game is the second Demon Slayer game to be released on the Nintendo Switch. The first game that came to the Nintendo Switch was the port of The Hinokami Chronicles, an arena fighter game developed by CyberConnect2.
