Demon Slayer Game Devs Naruto Pedigree Is A Great Sign

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles will likely find itself in good hands with a development studio that has plenty of experience working on anime titles. The Demon Slayer video game, being published by Sega, is under development at CyberConnect2, and while CC2’s history can be traced back to the .Hack series of games on the PlayStation 2, it is their most recent and notable ventures that give it the pedigree that makes it a great fit for the anime title’s adaptation to video games.

While CyberConnect2’s first large-scale project was the .Hack RPG series, the company had become more well-known for their anime games in the Naruto franchise. The Naruto games began as 2.5D fighting games as the Ultimate Ninja series in 2003 before the advent of the PlayStation 3 placed the series on a 3D plane and rebranding it as Ultimate Ninja Storm in 2008. The rebranding brought a new style and feel to the series to better emulate what fans of the Naruto franchise witnessed in the anime. This style became CyberConnect2’s most recognizable trademark for years to come.

CyberConnect2 occasionally branched out to non-anime related titles such as Capcom’s Asura’s Wrath and being brought on board to work on Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake before later leaving the project. However, CyberConnect2’s development remained primarily around the development of 3D anime-based arena brawlers. The Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series of titles laid the groundwork for CyberConnect2’s formula, a blueprint which was followed into its development in two titles in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series as well as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. CyberConnect2’s signature style remains on display in the upcoming title based on the Demon Slayer anime.

Demon Slayer: CyberConnect2’s History With Naruto & Shonen Anime

Shonen anime tend to be known for their emphasis on action and adventure often set in a world of fantasy that allows the characters to perform impossible feats of power, speed, intelligence, or spiritual resolve. This popular subsection of anime and manga included titles such as Dragon Ball Z and, later, Naruto. The high-action, briskly paced battles that have come to exemplify the shonen genre have also become an intrinsic, unmistakable part of the CyberConnect2 formula in their game development as seen through their Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series and development on DBZ: Kakarot while also painting their non-anime projects in a similar fashion. This experience with the frenetic pace of shonen anime makes the company well-equipped to take the reins of the development of the Demon Slayer video game.

CyberConnect2’s long-standing history with the Naruto franchise has allowed the developer to mold and craft their own method of bringing anime to life in video game format. From the cel-shaded art-style to the fast-paced action that epitomizes CC2’s style of gameplay over the last decade, there is perhaps no developer more suited toward bringing the Demon Slayer anime to video games than CyberConnect2. The Demon Slayer anime brawler looks to usher in a new chapter in CyberConnect2’s ongoing chronicle of translating the stylistic splendor of anime to video games.
