  • May 28 will bring Doma to Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 as the seventh and final character in the paid Infinity Castle Part 1 Character Pass.
  • The pass pulls from the Infinity Castle Part 1: Akaza Returns film and adds Doma, Kaigaku, and Infinity Castle versions of Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Giyu, Shinobu, and Akaza for VS. Mode.
  • That rollout began with Kaigaku on October 30 and continued through Shinobu on April 17, while a free update added Muzan Kibutsuji to VS. Mode on September 18.
  • The sequel launched on August 1 in Japan and August 5 in English, with story content covering the Entertainment District, Swordsmith Village, and Hashira Training arcs and a VS. roster of more than 40 characters.
