SEGA announced that it will be releasing the Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! video game for the Nintendo Switch in 2024. Produced by Aniplex, the game will be available in the Americas and Europe.
Sweep the Board! will see players explore a dynamic world designed like a board game. Each board features memorable locations from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series, including Mount Fujikasane and Asakusa. As the time-of-day changes from day and night, the spaces of each board changes, bringing new events and opportunities for players to engage in as they plan their next move.
