Sega has announced that Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 will launch on August 1. While the game’s trailer was exciting, many fans are feeling underwhelmed by the announcement. At $59.99, the game seems like a pricey standalone sequel when it could have been an expansion of the existing game.
In contrast to other anime titles, which often receive high-quality video game tie-ins, Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles 2 appears to be a more modest offering. The game will cover just three arcs, which is significantly less than the first game’s seven arcs. This raises questions about whether fans are getting value for their money.
The first Hinokami Chronicles was praised for its solid combat and attention to detail, but it covered only part of the anime’s storyline. If this sequel had waited until the anime was completed, a more comprehensive release would have been justified at a higher price point. However, with the series nearing completion, Sega may be releasing the game too early.
The upcoming Demon Slayer movies will cover the final arc, making the prospect of another full-priced title less palatable for fans. At $59.99, fans are left wondering if they’re getting the best value possible from their investment in the Demon Slayer universe.
