Describing the game, the Steam page shows “Become the blade that destroys demons”. This gives a basic idea that the game is going to revolve around the players slaying demons all around!

Overall, we can consider the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles to be a classic game with a lot of potentials. But here is the fact. This game also has come up with quite a lot of bugs and glitches.


The one we are going to talk about is the matchmaking issue. As said earlier, the game has both single-player and multiplayer modes. And there is a ranked mode as well. A lot of players have reported having faced the matchmaking issue in the ranked game mode. The case is so bizarre that players fail to enter a match almost 50% of the time they try. People have tried creating their own ranked room as well.


While some succeeded in getting a match, many fail. The game always shows either communication error or connection error. Several questions have been asked to the developers, but there has been no official statement or solution issued by CyberConnect 2.

So this means that the only option is to wait until the devs address the issue, or someone comes up with some solution. Considering the fact that it was released only two days back, waiting for some time does not sound too bad.
