Tanjiro and co-fans can be the first to pre-order their copy when it opens on March 3rd. It will be made for all major gaming platforms, so time to flex using the thumbs on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam. But wait! If you are a Nintendo Switch fan, do not sweat this one. Upcoming will be an announcement for the Switch version. Feeling the hype yet, huh?

When it comes to fighting games based around anime, “Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles” was already doing everything right. The sequel would again bring all the characters from the original story and perhaps introduce a few mechanics that could very well take the gameplay to yet another level. Wouldn’t it be great if we could find the Hashira up there once more? Sounds like we might be on the verge of something truly epic!

The hype train is already taking off; check those fan reactions on social media. User **ZettaSlow** was all over the place with “We are so back!” while **timely_u** had a very interesting question: are both versions of the Switch getting the game, or just the new one? Speculation seems to be brewing!

And it’s not all just sunny-beamed lavishing weather. **Starboy** asked whether or not this game was even necessary and if it would just become some kind of DLC. It is indeed reasonable to suspect that the developers are milking the fans a bit too much in going for a full sequel rather than just an expansion. Where there would be smoke, there would be fire as always.

And how about those waterworks moments with players’ favorite characters? User **Kadeem Kusaragi** expressed her desire to see “Demon Slayer Academy Mitsuri” come into play. Could we possibly see a character that would be able to “paint all over enemies with love”? Ah, just the thought of it terrifies me!

And just for those naysayers who do not find any sense in another complete game, **CuttyFlam**, commented wisely, “Smh this is about to be ass, barely any information on this an dropping soon.” Yep, this is spot on since a few fans already seem to be unhappy without knowing much about this game’s gameplay or features.

But let us hold on the right side! There is so much fan excitement concerning this sequel. **Perfidy** shared that his daughters are huge Demon Slayer fans, and can you really blame them? Quite cool when seeing kids coming into such exciting stories. From shared excitement to speculation and wishes for new characters, this game is set to build some storm waves!
