‘Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2’ Heads West This August With New Story Arc and Special Bonuses

It’s been officially announced by SEGA that the game titled “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2” is set to launch in Europe and North America on August 5, 2025.

The upcoming game can be played on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X & S, Xbox One, Steam, and eventually on Nintendo Switch. To excite fans, a fresh trailer was released in conjunction with the announcement, offering a sneak peek at the captivating Entertainment District Arc within the Story Mode.

Starting from March 3, 2025, you can place your pre-orders for the digital versions of this game on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam platforms. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch version will be available at a later date.

The Premium Digital Version costs €69.99 and comes outfitted with the complete game, as well as early access commencing on July 31, 2025. Those who opt for this version can anticipate unique character releases, special voice options, and alternate battle costumes as additional perks.

By pre-ordering, you’ll gain access to playing Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, two exciting characters. However, this offer is only valid if you place your order before the 5th of August and it’s exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, as it won’t be available for purchase afterward on that platform.

The Standard Digital Version costs €59.99 and offers the complete game, along with two Academy version character unlocks as extras, plus the same two pre-order bonuses. The Physical Edition, also priced at €59.99, is open for pre-orders now. It includes the main game and two temporary character unlocks – Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji.

Those who have saved data from prior Demon Slayer games are eligible for unique in-game rewards. Specifically, if you have saved data from the initial Hinokami Chronicles, it will grant you access to six characters in their versions from the Kimetsu Academy.

Playing the game “Sweep the Board!” rewards you with a special, one-of-a-kind character that’s a fusion of Hinatsuru, Makiwo, and Suma, complete with custom battle costumes tailored to them.

As a gamer, I need to ensure that the platform I’m currently using is the same one I’ve been playing on for prior titles to take advantage of these save data bonuses.
