Assassin’s Creed Shadows Features Surprising Demon Slayer Easter Egg!

The character-filled universe of Demon Slayer isn’t new to the realm of video games. Characters like Tanjiro and others from the Demon Slayer Corps have graced several titles, such as Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles and Demon Slayer: Sweep The Board. These games offer unique interpretations of the well-known shonen characters. It’s intriguing to note that the world of Ubisoft’s assassins also seems to have been impacted by the shonen franchise, as Demon Slayer makes an unexpected entry in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you’re a fan of the Demon Slayer Corps, you will quickly identify the item hidden within the latest stealth game.

In the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players will uncover “The Secret Path,” which leads them to a rock formation called “Split Rock.” Interestingly, Tanjiro from Demon Slayer was able to create something similar through rigorous training in the anime world. Remarkably, this rock is not just fictional; it’s an actual boulder located at the Shohachiman Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Although Tanjiro and his demon-slaying companions won’t be making an appearance in the world of assassins anytime soon, this crossover serves as a testament to the ongoing interaction between anime and video game worlds today. You can find a video showcasing this real-life boulder below.

Demon Slayer’s Big 2025

Alongside the hidden reference from “Assassin’s Creed Shadows”, the Demon Slayer Corps has an exciting event coming up this year. This summer, the initial installment of the “Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle” trilogy is set to premiere in Japanese theaters, with a North American theatrical release scheduled for September. As this cinematic trilogy is billed as the climactic conclusion for the renowned shonen series, anime enthusiasts are engaged in lively discussion about whether this film will unseat the current record-holder for largest anime movie ever, “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train”.

The Demon Slayer Corps members are training for an upcoming fight against demons, when Muzan Kibutsuji appears at Ubuyashiki Mansion, placing the Demon Corps leader in peril. In response, Tanjiro and the Hashira hurry to the headquarters but get pulled into a mysterious space by Muzan. They find themselves in the heart of the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. Thus, the stage is set for the climactic battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.
