A sequel to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is in development, according to SEGA and ATLUS insider Midori (@MbKKssTBhz5). If true, the upcoming title is expected to adapt multiple arcs of the anime series, such as the Swordsmith Village Arc.
SEGA and CyberConnect2’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is an anime arena fighter that adapts the first two seasons of the anime. Multiple DLCs were released featuring characters from the Entertainment District Arc, but the arc was not adapted into the story mode. If Midori’s claim is true, then fans can expect a sequel with a lot more content.

Little information is known about the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles sequel. However, the game’s development shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, since the Demon Slayer series continues to be one of the most popular in the anime world. At the very least, the new title will likely adapt the Entertainment District and Swordsmith Village Arc, and many more playable characters will be available.
