Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Film Trilogy Set for 2025 Release
The highly anticipated finale of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series, the Infinity Castle film trilogy, is set to release in 2025, with the first film reportedly scheduled for September 12, 2025. The release date was revealed through an accidental listing by German movie theater chain CineStar, which described the film as an ‘Untitled Sony/Crunchyroll/Aniplex Event Film.’ The listing has since been removed, but not before confirming the film’s connection to the Infinity Castle arc.
The trilogy will adapt the final and action-packed story arc from Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga, focusing on the battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of all demons. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado and his allies as they confront the Upper Moon Demons within the labyrinthine Infinity Castle, a dimension where rooms constantly shift and move. The stakes are higher than ever as the demon slayers fight to save humanity from annihilation.
Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment are handling the global distribution of the films, excluding certain Asian territories. The trilogy is expected to be a major box office success, with industry executives predicting it could surpass the record-breaking $457 million gross of the franchise’s previous film, Mugen Train.
Fans of the series are eagerly awaiting the trilogy, which promises to deliver the same stunning animation and emotional storytelling that have made Demon Slayer one of the most popular anime franchises of all time. The Infinity Castle arc is known for its darker themes and intense action, and the films are expected to bring the series to a thrilling conclusion.
While no official release date has been confirmed, the September 12, 2025, date aligns with industry expectations. The films will also be available in IMAX, offering fans an immersive viewing experience. With the franchise’s track record of success, the Infinity Castle trilogy is poised to be a major event in the anime world.
