A recent report from The Guardian details the financial success of Demon Slayer, particularly in 2025. While Infinity Castle was a major driver of revenue, the report also reveals that the second and third films in the trilogy are slated for release in 2027 and 2029, respectively. Given Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle‘s long runtime – over two and a half hours, roughly equivalent to five anime episodes – the studio, Ufotable, is likely taking its time to ensure a satisfying conclusion to the series. The first film earned over $700 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing anime film ever, and the upcoming sequels are expected to potentially surpass that record.

Fortunately, the decade also delivered one of the very best Star Wars stories, which revitalized the franchise when it really needed a boost.

You can choose “Sacrifice” to save thousands of lives, “Love” to bring your family and beloved dog back to life, or “Wealth” to gain a fortune of 1 million gold pieces. Will you prioritize the greater good, personal relationships, or simply money? Regardless of your choice, you’ll feel a sense of achievement, but making the decision is the real challenge in Fable II’s finale.
