Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie Releases in 2025

TOKYO, Japan — The highly anticipated movie trilogy, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” will officially debut in Japan on July 18, 2025. The announcement from Crunchyroll has fans excited as it marks the beginning of the end for the beloved series based on Koyoharu Gotouge‘s manga.

The first installment will kick off the Infinity Castle arc, which is set to feature significant battles that fans have eagerly awaited. In addition to the release date, new visuals and a promotional reel were unveiled over the weekend, increasing anticipation among viewers.

While the July release date applies specifically to Japan, international audiences are also eager to learn when they can watch the film. Typically, North American releases follow a few months after the initial Japanese showing. Crunchyroll revealed that the movie is expected to premiere in the United States and Canada on September 12, 2025, while Southeast Asia will have its showings starting in August.

As revealed by Haruo Sotozaki, the director at Ufotable, the team also includes Chief Animation Director Akira Matsushima and music composers Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina. The distribution will be handled internationally by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures, ensuring fans worldwide have access to this exciting new chapter.

The narrative will pick up where the show’s fourth season, which aired in 2024, left off. This season, while visually stunning, received mixed reviews regarding the pacing, acting as a prologue to the final act of the storyline centered on protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and his peers against the series’ main antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Demonstrating strong popularity, the “Demon Slayer” franchise remains a titan in the anime world, evident by the success of its previous film, which became Japan’s highest-grossing film of all time. The upcoming trilogy aims to continue this trend and deliver a compelling conclusion to Tanjiro’s story.

The intricacies of the upcoming movies will unfold with the sequels expected to follow annually after the first film’s release. Fans will have to wait and see how the characters evolve and respond to the escalating challenges as the trilogy progresses.

For those looking forward to the movie, it is recommended to keep an eye on updates from Crunchyroll for more precise international release arrangements as the dates draw closer.
