Story Mode then continues, providing in-game retelling of the Entertainment District, Swordsmith Village, and Hashira Training Arcs.
IGN wrote an in-depth review of the sequel, giving the title a seven out of ten rating. As for ongoing support for the game, updates and DLC are expected — the game’s predecessor was granted both of these as post-launch updates and paid content.
