Aniplex announced on June 29 that the Switch 2 edition of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2" will launch on October 29, priced at 7,810 yen. The edition bundles the base game with the "Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1" Character Pass, which adds seven characters including Tanjiro Kamado (Infinity Castle Arc), Zenitsu Agatsuma (Infinity Castle Arc), Giyu Tomioka (Infinity Castle Arc), Shinobu Kocho (Infinity Castle Arc), Doma, Akaza (Infinity Castle Arc), and Kaigaku. The Switch 2 version supports high-resolution display and 60 FPS, with clearer character expressions and skill effects. It supports offline two-player versus battles, online versus battles with the existing Switch version (though those matches run at 30 FPS), and local wireless battles between Switch 2 consoles. A separate upgrade pass for Switch version owners will also be available on the same day for 550 yen, allowing save data transfer but not including the character pass. Store-specific purchase bonuses include a CyberConnect2-produced sticker and a ufotable reproduction art.
The Switch 2 edition of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2" arrives on October 29, bundling the August 2025 base game with the "Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1" Character Pass for 7,810 yen. The character pass adds seven fighters drawn from the Infinity Castle arc of the anime, bringing the total playable roster to 54 characters when combined with earlier DLC. The edition uses the Switch 2's hardware to run at 60 FPS with high-resolution display, a step up from the original Switch version's performance. Cross-play between Switch 2 and Switch is possible, but online matches involving Switch players are capped at 30 FPS. Local wireless battles between two Switch 2 consoles are also supported. For existing Switch owners, a 550 yen upgrade pass transfers save data to the Switch 2 edition but does not include the character pass, which must be bought separately. Early purchases of the Switch 2 edition include a CyberConnect2-produced game visual sticker, and store-specific bonuses include a ufotable-drawn package art reproduction and an Aniplex Online exclusive acrylic stand set featuring Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka.
