At Sony State of Play livestream, we saw a plethora of third-party games heading to the PlayStation family, and, PC. Sega had two offerings, one being the follow-up to the Yakuza spin-off Judgment, called Lost Judgment. The other is the first game based on the mega-popular Demon Slayer anime.
   Titled Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles, got a new story trailer released today that revealed gameplay from the Tsuzumi Mansion arc. Demon Slayer was actually confirmed for a Western release just last month.
   In this part of the story, Tanjiro and Nezuko are joined by Zenitsu and Inosuke for the first time as they battle several powerful demons. There's a fight that has Tanjiro squaring off against Kyogai, a demon who uses the drums on his body in order to shift the perspective of the room they're in. The fight is spectacular. Developer, CyberConnect2 has its work cut out for with this one.
   Secondly, we see Zenitsu fighting a demon with a long, prehensile tongue. Here, we see Zenitsu's unique powers, in which he becomes so scared that he passes out and lets his unconscious mind takeover. In this state, he uses a lightning style breathing technique.
   The trailer highlights a lot of the mobility and combat. The Adventure Mode in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles will feature gameplay covering the first seven arcs of the series.
   Everything's been covered from the "Final Selection" arc until the "Mugen Train" arc. The latter was actually launched in theaters, blowing its competition out of the water.
   The game is releasing onto PC via Steam on October 15. There will be a standard version and a Digital Deluxe version, the latter of which consists of bonus cosmetics and in-game items. You can find out more info on the game's official website.
