Demon Slayer Game Gets New Update

Key Takeaways

  • The Version 1.20 update adds Board Six based on the Hashira Training Arc.
  • New mini-games include Cold Soba Noodle Speed-Eating Contest and Fly the Distance.

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for all things anime, I must say, CyberConnect2’s latest update for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board” has me utterly thrilled! The Version 1.20 update, reminiscent of a cherry blossom blooming in late winter, brings a fresh breath of air to this already captivating game.

CyberConnect2 has rolled out an update for the game “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board,” taking it to version 1.20. This fresh update introduces a fresh game board and an assortment of mini-games inspired by the Hashira Training arc, a significant storyline in the “Demon Slayer” series. Players can grab this update right away for download.

Title game: “Sweep the Board” – a board game similar to “Mario Party”, launched in April for Nintendo Switch, with subsequent releases scheduled for other major console platforms in July. Developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Sega, this game offers an entirely distinct gaming experience compared to the “Hinokami Chronicles” arena fighter. Throughout the day, players gear up for events and mini-games, while battling demons at night. Notable characters from the anime, such as Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the Hashira, are playable in this game too. Initial boards were based on famous locations seen in the show, like Mt. Fujikasane and Asakusa. The latest update brings additional content inspired by the Hashira Training arc.

In the 1.20 update for “Sweep the Board,” a freshly introduced game board titled “Board Six” is themed around the Hashira Training arc from “Demon Slayer.” This new board features characters that are significant in this storyline, including Tengen Uzui’s three wives (Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma) as well as the Demon Slayer swordsman Murata. Players can enlist these characters to aid them during their gameplay. Occupying specific spaces on the board could trigger an event where you get to engage in training with one of the Hashira.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board Version 1.20 Update Adds New Content

  • New Board: “Board Six” based on Hashira Training Arc
  • Two new mini-games:
    • Cold Soba Noodle Speed-Eating Contest
    • Fly the Distance!
  • Fights with Mist Hashira, Snake Hashira, and Wind Hashira at Night

Two new mini-games are also included in this update: Cold Soba Noodle Speed-Eating Contest and Fly the Distance. The Noodle Speed-Eating contest requires the player to eat cold soba noodles faster than the Water Hashira by quickly pressing the buttons in the right order. Fly the Distance has the player flying a paper airplane by stopping its gauge at the right time, where flying into gusts of wind will slow the player down. Much like the other boards in Sweep the Board, when the game shifts to its night cycle, a set of bosses will put the players’ skills to the test. On this board, the Mist Hashira, Snake Hashira, and Wind Hashira will appear, and all four players need to work together in order to overcome their challenges.

Although the animated series “Demon Slayer” has come to an end, there haven’t been many video games capitalizing on its fame. To put it simply, “Demon Slayer” has only seen two major console releases in recent years, namely “The Hinokami Chronicles” and “Sweep the Board,” which are based on earlier story arcs from the anime. With the series now concluded, it could be beneficial to develop another substantial “Demon Slayer” console game, perhaps a sequel to “The Hinokami Chronicles.
