Rui and Akaza Join the Versus Mode Roster in Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles

Today, SEGA is proud to announce that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles, the official video game of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime, is receiving the first of its free post-launch content updates starting today on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam!

This new update features the addition of two playable characters joining the Versus mode roster, both of whom are members of the powerful Twelve Kizuki: Rui (Lower Five), the demon of Mt. Natagumo, and Akaza (Upper Three), a fighter who appeared during the Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train that only wishes to reach the peak of his strength.

Players can also now challenge themselves in a variety of online missions that allow them to earn Kimetsu Points you can use to unlock fantastic rewards such as newly added Quotes and Profile Photos. All this new content will be available immediately after users download and install the latest update for the game (v1.11).

As a friendly reminder, players must be on the same version of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles to play online together, so we recommend everyone updating to the latest patch to ensure compatibility.
