The game is listed as a 3D action RPG. Aniplex of America describes the story:

The protagonist is an ordinary exorcist stationed at the Japanese branch of the Knights of the True Cross. They are assigned to the newly founded Special Investigations Unit and meet their partner, Adori Kureha. They will meet the other quirky of the SIU and investigate the Hyakusai Pagoda Fire and demons of the Koreiga appearing in the city...

The game will feature returning characters from the franchise, but also new characters, including:

Original manga creator Kazue Katō supervised the draft design for the characters.

Aniplex is listed for planning and distribution of the game.

Katō launched the Blue Exorcist manga in resumed in May 2022. The manga has more than 25 million copies in circulation.

The manga inspired a 25-episode television anime series in 2011, and the Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga television anime premiered in 2017 and aired for 12 episodes.

The Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga anime will then debut in January 2025.

The franchise also includes several novels and a series of stage plays.
