Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles announced the addition of Tengen Uzui to the game, along with a new character pass and versus mode stage.
SEGA revealed the DLC with a dynamic trailer today, showcasing the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps as he cuts down his enemies with striking style and charismatic wit. Purchase of the pack also includes a set of profile photos, quotes and a new stage for versus mode called the "Entertainment District." Additionally, SEGA released the Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Character Pass for sale, allowing players to bundle and save on all character releases through December 2022.
Players purchasing the Character Pass receive seven new characters spaced out through five releases. These include Tengen Uzui, Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form), Tanjiro Kamado (Entertainment District), Zenitsu Agatsuma (Entertainment District), Inosuke Hashibira (Entertainment District), Daki and Gyutaro. Players can purchase both the Character Pass and the individual Tengen Uzui Pack on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
In addition to new characters, Demon Slayer revealed its Kimetsu Academy Summer Uniforms, previously Nintendo Switch exclusives, are now available for download and purchase as a bundle on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Steam. The pack includes summer uniforms for Kimetsu Academy Tanjiro Kamado, Kimetsu Academy Nezuko Kamado, Kimetsu Academy Zenitsu Agatsuma, Kimetsu Academy Inosuke Hashibira, and Kimetsu Academy Giyu Tomioka.
These may relieve some fans who wondered whether Demon Slayer was worth $60, with some feeling it lacked enough anime-inspired action. Demon Slayer launched in the West on Oct. 15, 2021, to mixed reviews, with some expressing disappointment over its interpretation of the beloved anime. Other reviewers found Demon Slayer captured the original's spirit perfectly, noting its graphics quality while noting that criticism over its somewhat lackluster gameplay was valid.
The game follows the same premise as the first season of Demon Slayer with aspects of the 2020 film, Mugen Train. It follows a young man named Tanjiro Kamado, who joins the Semon Slayer Corps after a demon named Muzan Kibutsuji murders his family and turns his sister into one of its kind. Over the course of his journey, Tanjiro connects with new faces, some of which appear as playable characters in the game.
The Character Pass and Tengen Uzui Pack are available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
