2 Vs 2 Tag battle system
Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles has 1 v 1 fights, however, you can switch during battle with a tag partner character. CyberConnect2 already confirmed there is no simultaneous 2 vs 2 battle, and no four player mode.
Looking at the gameplay we’ve seen so far, and CyberConnect2’s track record, Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is bound to be a huge success this 2021. The Demon Slayer game, together with the anime series, will keep the flame alive even after the original manga by Koyoharu Gotouge ended. The Mugen Train movie is still in American theaters as well.
