“The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a thrilling arena fighter from the team at CyberConnect2 that builds upon the original Hinokami Chronicles, whose cumulative physical game shipments and digital copies sold has exceeded 4 million units worldwide,” says a statement from Sega.

The manga was adapted into an anime series by Ufotable. Making its debut in 2019, it actually finished its fourth season, the Hashira Training Arc, this year. The Infinity Castle arc will be adapted into three films, and will conclude the Demon Slayer story. Release dates for the movies have not yet been revealed. However, it is confirmed the first installment will receive a global theatrical release in 2025.
