This year’s 45th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on Monday that Rui and Akaza will join the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami Keppūtan) game as playable characters.
The game will get a Digital Deluxe Edition that includes character unlock keys for Demon Slayer Academy characters; avatars; butterfly mansion costumes for Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke; 8,000 slayer points; and early access to the game on October 13.
The game will add the characters as its first free update out of three planned updates after release.
Aniplex is delaying the release of the separate Kimetsu no Yaiba: Keppū Kengeki Royale (Demon Slayer: Blood-Stench Blade Royale) smartphone game indefinitely in order to improve the quality of the game.
