What is included in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Deluxe Edition?

While the base game costs 59.99 USD, the Deluxe package costs 69.99 USD instead. Here's what buyers are getting for an extra 10 USD aside from the Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 full base game:

Character Unlock Keys: Tengen Uzui, Obanai Iguro, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Gyomei Himejima, Academy Rengoku, and Academy Uzui
Battle Attire: Tanjiro's Kimono (Entertainment District), Inosuke's Kimono (Entertainment District), and Uzui's Shinobi Attire
VS Mode System Voice: Upper Rank Demons Set (Akaza, Daki, Gyutaro, Gyokko, Zohakuten)

Character Unlock Keys allow players to access specific characters right from the start, as opposed to unlocking them via progression in Story Mode. Battle Attire features cosmetics, which can also be purchased in-game by spending Kimetsu Points. VS Battle System Voice, as the name suggests, allows changing the voiceovers of the fight announcer to various characters from the series, also unlockable via Kimetsu Points.

In a nutshell, there isn't anything in the Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Deluxe Edition that cannot be obtained by just playing the base game. Therefore, if players wish to spend a lot of time with the game, buying the premium edition does not make sense, as they will eventually unlock everything naturally. On the other hand, if they want to get a head start, especially with the already-unlocked Hashira characters, then it could be a worthwhile investment; however, this is only recommended for hardcore fans of the anime series.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2, alongside its Deluxe Edition, is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
