The long-awaited movie, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle,” which kicks off the trilogy, was first screened in Japan, and now people worldwide are eagerly waiting for its release in their countries. Mark your calendars, U.S. fans, as the film hits theaters on September 12th, 2025. The trilogy was announced by studio Ufotable in June 2024, following the end of the Hashira Training Arc anime season. Initially, this decision sparked varied responses, but it made sense after the phenomenal success of the Infinity Train film. Interestingly, the success of Infinity Train didn’t influence the studio to pursue this ambitious conclusion for the series.
As reported by Magmix, Japanese theaters handed out informative pamphlets to their patrons, featuring images, cast interviews, and other details. Notably, the choice to create a trilogy was finalized following the manga’s conclusion in May 2020, coinciding with the release of the Infinity Train film in October. Production on this trilogy has been underway for five years now, and the first installment is due out in Japan this month. Further details about the second part may be revealed after its global premiere. The Infinity Castle is already breaking records at the Japanese box office, fueling anticipation beyond previous levels.
Ufotable Estimated The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Trilogy Could Take Up to 10 Years
Additionally, the pamphlet revealed that even a well-known animation studio like Ufotable faced immense challenges when adapting the Infinity Castle Arc. The castle, being an ever-changing labyrinth, posed significant difficulties in recreating it for animated versions. Since the entire arc takes place within this moving labyrinth as characters navigate through it, the task becomes even more complex for the studio. It was estimated by Ufotable that just rendering (3DCG drawing) each film would take a minimum of three years and six months.
In simpler terms, the studio found out that producing the entire trilogy over a decade wasn’t feasible, so they opted for advanced, quick computers to shorten the production process. Furthermore, they minimized the time spent on rendering by consistently finding ways to address other challenges.
What to Expect from the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Film
The narrative continues after the climax of the Hashira Training Arc, following Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s demise which sets off the ultimate confrontation against Muzan Kibutsuji. The Demon Slayers charge to eliminate the originator of demons, and even Tamayo inflicted substantial damage on him. Yet, before they could vanquish Muzan, Nakime called them all into the Infinity Castle. Inside, the Upper Moons were in wait for them. Since Muzan had dispatched the Lower Six, who were no match for a Hashira, only the most powerful demons now stand.
The video preview showcases an impressive battle between Akaza and Tanjiro, marking their initial encounter since the Infinity Train Arc. Moreover, it emphasizes Shinobu’s confrontation with Doma, the Upper Rank Two. Furthermore, various characters are shown, with Zenitsu being particularly noteworthy as he gazes intensely at a formidable demon, an unusual behavior for him.
