Sega announced that it will be bringing over Demon Slayer – Sweep the Board to Nintendo Switch in 2024.
It’s a board game that looks to be similar to that of Mario Party and allows up to four people to play together, either locally or online. There will be several characters from the Demon Slayer cast that players can choose from, including Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Unosuke Hashibira, and nine other Hashiras. Additionally, Nezuko Kamado will be in the game as a support character.
Players will participate in a variety of mini-games and the game board will switch between day and night. As players move forward on the board, different events will trigger and they must work together to bring down demons in their way.

It’s currently unknown whether Demon Slayer – Sweep the Board will come to other platforms at a later date, but right now it’s only coming to Nintendo Switch. Sega published another Demon Slayer game back in 2021 titled Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles, which was a multiplatform release.
In IGN’s Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles review, we said, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is a wonderful retelling of the already excellent Demon Slayer anime, even if its inconsistent story mode isn’t as much fun to play as its cutscenes are to watch.”
