Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Announced For 2025

Despite Demon Slayer still holding its own as one of the most popular contemporary anime shows, the remainder of it won’t exactly be a “show.” The plan is to tell the rest of the manga’s story in the form of three theatrical movies, the first of which was just announced for next year.

The first movie in the trilogy will be titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle. We first saw the Castle at the beginning of the Hashira Training Arc season. It’s what it says on the box: an endless, infinite structure from another dimension wherein all demons dwell. The image animation studio ufotable sent to promote the movie is a solitary crow flying through the infinite hallways of the castle.

As for what happens within it….those who read the manga already know, but the studio is only hinting at an “impending all-out war between the Demon Slayer Corps and demonic leader Muzan Kibutsuji!” Remember that it’s part one of three, and not all may be wrapped up in a bow.

Even though ufotable hasn’t confirmed this, don’t count on there “never” being another TV season of Demon Slayer. The second season, Mugen Train, premiered as a movie and was then carved into TV episodes. We feel it’s likely they will do the same with Infinity Castle. They know how popular this is and how to milk it.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will be distributed by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment worldwide, including Japan (except selected Asian markets). No theatrical release dates have been announced.
