Demon Slayer Movie Release Date CONFIRMED
Demon Slayer’s final trilogy of movies now has a release date, setting the stage for the end of the anime hit.
On March 1, 2025, the release date for the Demon Slayer movie has been finally dropped.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 1 will be released on July 18, 2025 in Japan.
To celebrate the release, a key visual was released, showing all the Hashira and Tanjiro and his friends within Infinity Castle, the hideout of main antagonist Muzan Kibutsuji and his Twelve Kizuki.
Additionally, a promotion video shows some frames and scenes of the Demon Slayer anime in chronological order since its debut in 2019.
Previously, there have been reports that some sites, specifically in Germany and other parts of Europe, have already booked an international release date for around September 2025, so this all adds up now.
The movie trilogy will serve as the conclusion of the Demon Slayer story.
The Infinity Castle Arc is one of the two final arcs of the Demon Slayer manga, alongside the Sunrise Countdown Arc.
Both arcs span 70 chapters, from Chapter 140: “The Final Battle Begins” to Chapter 205: “Life Shining Across the Years”.
