A well-known Sega leaker has confirmed that a sequel to Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is currently in development. The first Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles was released in 2021, based on the 2019 anime adaptation of the same name. Hinokami Chronicles was developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Aniplex in Japan and by Sega globally. CyberConnect2 worked on a number of action-heavy anime style games before Hinokami Chronicles, such as the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm series and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Hinokami Chronicles, much like the Ninja Storm series, has both an action game focus and a 3D arena fighter multiplayer mode.

This leak was provided by a well-known Sega leaker, @MbKKssTBhz5, or Midori, on Twitter. Midori has had an incredibly accurate track record in the past, leaking games like Persona 3 Reload and Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance before their official announcements. Midori simply stated that a sequel to Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is in development, though she doesn't mention any systems or targeted release window for the game yet. Based on the previous entry, it's likely this game will be another cross-generation multiplatform game, launching on both the last-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, along with the current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S systems.

Where The Hinokami Chronicles Sequel May Go

Hinokami Chronicles adapted the first season of the anime series and the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train film. This is evident with the final battle of Hinokami Chronicles being an original fight that never took place in either the manga or anime, with Tanjiro never getting the chance to fight Demon Slayer's big bad, Muzan Kibutsuji, in the game's story.

As a sequel, it's very likely that CyberConnect2 will most likely adapt the events of the anime's second and third seasons, with Demon Slayer's fourth season being included a coin toss due to it only premiering later this year. This is speculation based on the assumption the leaked Demon Slayer game is real, however. While Midori has an accurate track record regarding past leaks, fans should still take this information with a grain of salt until more information about this game is revealed by either Sega or CyberConnect2.
