All three arcs have some of the most memorable battles in Demon Slayer, so many fans are excited to see the changes made in The Hinokami Chronicles 2 to further improve the experience. Sega has already teased on the game's website that fans will be able to play as Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, unlocking their powerful Hashira abilities to defeat the Upper Rank demon in the Swordsmith Village Arc. Plus, with more arcs included in the sequel, it's expected that the game will be bigger and hopefully better compared to the first.
Demon Slayer is officially entering the Infinity Castle Arc this year with three theatrical releases, marking the final chapter of the series. Considering that the Demon Slayer games follow the arc progression of the anime, the next Hinokami Chronicles game will likely focus solely on the Infinity Castle Arc. Although it might take another four years or more to develop, longtime fans would probably be willing to wait for the third title.
