The gameplay trailers for the new Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba games- one on PlayStation 4, the other on Android, and iOS.

Both the gameplay video, and development video for Demon Slayer: Hinokami Blood Style Tan (Translation: Google Translate) are not available in the US and Europe. However, the gameplay video has been uploaded by a third party.

This third party has also uploaded the gameplay trailer of Demon Slayer: Blood Wind Sword Glow Royal (Translation: Google Translate), though the gameplay is only in brief snippets. You can find both trailers below.

An article by Games Talk confirms that the PlayStation 4 is being developed by CyberConnect 2 (Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy).

Demon Slayer: Hinokami Blood Style Tan will launch in 2021 for PlayStation 4. Demon Slayer: Blood Wind Sword Glow Royal launches 2020 for Android, and iOS. A western release has not been confirmed at this time for either title.

Back in late November 2019, we reported on Nicchiban the franchise was set to achieve 25 million copies in circulation. Two months later, it was set to achieve 40 million in circulation.

It is no wonder the franchise became Shueisha’s second best selling manga in 2019, rivaled only by the titanic One Piece. 

In October of that year, the character Inosuke Hashibira became a symbol of the 2019 Chile protests (also dubbed the “30 Pesos War”).
