With Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles expected to arrive on the Nintendo Switch this June, it would seem that the launch might just be accompanied by a paid DLC which is reportedly adding new characters to the roster.

According to Ryokutya2089, it would seem that the information was supposedly revealed during the Weekly Jump reveal a few hours ago. According to the provided information, it would seem that the fighter has a paid DLC slated for the summer and will contain additional character packs, which will make new characters available in the Versus Mode.

As per the post, the following characters are expected to make their way to the game this June 2022:

  • Tengen Uzui
  • Daki
  • Gyutaro
  • Nezuko Kamado (Awakened)
  • Tanjiro Kamado (Entertainment District Arc)
  • Zenitsu Agatsuma (Entertainment District Arc)
  • Inosuke Hashibira (Entertainment District Arc)

As fans will notice, the new characters are the ones who were revealed during the Entertainment District Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

As mentioned, several new characters are reportedly joining the roster of Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles this summer, as it looks like the fighter will be getting its very first paid DLC.

While Nezuko, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were added in the base game, it was only their standard versions that players would be able to select in the fighter. The Entertainment District Arc had a lot of new developments in terms of the protagonists learning and showing off new skills. Hence, it’s highly likely that the game might be adding those forms in the paid DLC.

Additionally, the two major antagonists in the arc, Daki and Gyutaro, are also reportedly making their way to the roster. Jointly holding the position of Upper-Rank Six, it will be quite interesting to see how CyberConnect2 incorporates their skills and movesets into the game if they do arrive with the expansion.

The Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, is also expected to be a playable character. While this is not the first time Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles has been adding new characters to the roster, fans will have to pay for the upcoming DLC to get the ones who are reportedly making their way.

Characters like Yahaba and Susamaru were added to the game earlier, however, they were free updates.
