The sequel game's story mode will continue from the first game, and will include the Entertainment District Arc, Swordsmith Village Arc, and Hashira Training Arc. The VS mode will feature over 40 playable characters, including Muichirō Tokitō and Mitsuri Kanroji.
Cyber Connect 2 is developing the game, and Aniplex is again releasing the game.

All characters from the first game will also return in the base roster, including the demons that were added in the free post-launch updates and the Entertainment District Arc characters that were originally part of the first game's paid DLC. The nine Hashira will also be available in the new game as playable characters.
Sega Asia describes the first game:
Become the Demon Slayer, Tanjiro Kamado, to fight off the demons threatening humanity in order to turn his sister Nezuko, who has become a demon, back into a human, as well as to avenge the death of his family by hunting down the demon who killed them.
The game had four free updates, with the fourth update adding Group Battles, which allows up to eight people to join a room and play matches against each other. The game also added paid DLC contents in five separate releases in 2022.
