The movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is continuing to receive awards even as it prepares for its home video release.

The film remains incredibly popular with fans, who are still celebrating its success.

The 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards took place this weekend, honoring the most popular anime of the past year, as chosen by fans. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle was a major winner, receiving seven awards, including Film of the Year. The series continues to be incredibly popular, even as it becomes available for home viewing.

When Does Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Come Out?

While the success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle in theaters was great, it also created a bit of a delay for the next film. Because the first movie and its promotion did so well, there isn’t a pressing need to quickly release updates on the third film. There’s still a lot of story from the Infinity Castle arc of the original manga that needs to be adapted, so fans will likely have to wait some time before seeing it animated.

Don’t expect the next installment of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle until at least 2027. While we might get a sneak peek with some teaser images this year, Ufotable has confirmed it won’t be released in 2026. Currently, the project doesn’t have a firm release date, so fans may have a long wait ahead of them.
