In addition, it was announced that Chainsaw Man will receive its first major game adaptation. The project is currently in development for smartphones, marking the franchise's first full featured game.

The opening theme for the game will be "ALL THE LYNCH!! ALL THE MINCE!!" by Maximum the Hormone. Alongside the announcement, an opening movie produced by MAPPA and featuring the song was unveiled.




Maximum the Hormone Comments on the Opening Theme

Maximum the Hormone shared a message about the song:
"The version currently featured is only 1 minute and 29 seconds long, but I packed every image of Chainsaw Man that exists in my mind into this track and made it race by in an instant. Rest assured, the full version is already complete. It is a large scale piece running about four and a half minutes. I can already see it becoming a staple song at our live shows. The future rules! The future rules!"

The band also revealed an emotional reaction from vocalist Daisuke han after hearing the demo version.

"When our members first listened to the demo, Daisuke han suddenly started crying and said, 'I do not know why, but this is so good it brings tears to my eyes.' That really happened. Moments like that make me feel that writing music is worthwhile. I absolutely want everyone to hear the full version someday. The release date has not been decided yet, though. Please do not get angry. I hate violence. No violence allowed. Just kidding."
