Demon Slayer: The Video Game Gameplayĭemon Slayer: The Video Game is being developed by CyberConnect2, which is most famous for developing the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and more recently, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Considering the immense success of Mugen Train, there's a possibility that arc could be included in the game as well, but that feels like it could be added in as DLC while the rest of the game focuses entirely on what has already come to pass in the anime. Much of Demon Slayer's popularity stems from the anime and the game's developers might not want to outpace the anime and spoil major events that haven't happened in the anime yet. Seeing as the manga has already come to an end, there's a chance the game could go beyond what has already happened in the Demon Slayer anime, but that seems unlikely.
