Aniplex and Sega have just announced that Enmu and Yushiro & Tamayo will be joining Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles as playable characters at the third free update coming this Thursday, December 16.
Enmu is one of the Twelve Kizuki, and also the direct subordinate of Muzan Kibutsuji. He is a demon with a twisted personality who likes to see people’s misery and grief. He was the last of the Lower Moons to be left alive and attacked a train with two hundred passengers, of which included Tanjiro, and the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku among them.
Yushiro & Tamayo are a pair of characters that support each other. Yushiro has a technique that allows him to attack while avoiding or by passing through the opponent’s attack. Tamayo, on the other hand, only goes to the field when she’s summoned by a special technique and acts independently from Yushiro’s attacks.
Just like the previous updates, the pair of characters, or I guess in this particular case, trio of characters, will be playable in the Versus Mode and will join the cast alongside Susamaru, Yahaba, Rui and Akaza from the previous updates. Furthermore, this is the final post-game update, meaning no further updates are currently on the plans.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is currently available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, & PC.
▍Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles New Playable Characters
■ Enmu – CV: Daisuke Hirakawa
Enmu is skilled at deploying long-range assaults as well as projectiles that can stop an opponent in their tracks. His Light Attacks and Throw both have a considerable range, allowing him to fight while keeping his opponents at arm’s length.
When a Skill is used to obstruct an opponent’s movement, repel an opponent’s attack, hit the opponent, or even counter the opponent’s defense, it becomes an opportunity to utilize a Demon Skill. There are two different ranges and activation times for these Demon Skills, but none can be blocked. They work best when employed to infiltrate your opponent’s head.
■ Yushiro & Tamayo – CV: Daiki Yamashita & Maaya Sakamoto
Yushiro and Tamayo act as a team, with Yushiro as the primary fighter.
Yushiro has the ability to strike while dodging his opponent’s attacks, as well as Skills that allow him to attack while warding them off, letting him to “leap-frog” into the lead during encounters. Tamayo, who has her own demonic features, may also be summoned by utilizing a Demon Skill, which allows each character to maintain their feeling of individuality while battling as a team.
