The trailer provides a clearer look at gameplay, which certainly appears to include a lot more than the arena-style battles we have seen so far.

We also learn that the release date in Japan is October 14 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. There will be a standard edition, a deluxe edition, and a limited edition including a figure with smartphone stand.

We also get to see the box art drawn by Ufotable.

We learn that the single-player mode will follow the story of Tanjiro Kamado until the Mugen Train arc, including plenty of fights against the demons from the anime.

The versus mode include 18 characters including 12 from the anime plus the six from Demon Slayer Academy. It’s possible to create tag teams of two characters each.

Last, but not least, new gameplay will be revealed at the Aniplex Online Fest 2021 on July 4, at 2:00 pm Japan time.

You can check out the trailer and assets below.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
