Rumors Debunked — Crunchyroll CEO Confirms Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Parts 2 & 3 Have No Release Dates
Crunchyroll’s CEO has said he does not know when the next Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle films will arrive, contradicting online claims about specific release years.
Release status and CEO comment
In an interview, Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini confirmed that no release dates have been set for the planned follow-ups to Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. Specifically, Purini said this while discussing Part 1’s North American success in a Hollywood Reporter interview.
Well, we’ve announced that it will be a trilogy of movies, but our partners at Aniplex and Ufotable haven’t decided on dates yet. But look, there’s definitely urgency for all of us to bring more Demon Slayer to fans as soon as we can — because we know the urgency is there among the fanbase.
Therefore, any posts claiming concrete years for the sequels are not confirmed by Crunchyroll’s leadership. No official release dates have been announced by the companies involved.
Who is involved
The main companies tied to the film trilogy are Aniplex (production and distribution), Ufotable (animation studio), Sony (U.S. distribution), and Crunchyroll (anime department). Each of these entities plays a role in bringing the films to audiences, and all must align before release dates are set.
Rumors and context
Online rumors had suggested the two planned sequels would arrive in 2027 and 2029. However, those year claims have not been confirmed by the companies involved.
For additional context, Demon Slayer has maintained a steady output: since 2021 the franchise has released at least one new season or major project per year. Still, that production cadence does not translate into confirmed film release dates for Parts 2 and 3.
In short, until Aniplex and Ufotable set dates and an official announcement is made, specific year claims should be treated as unconfirmed.
