The Infinity Castle arc adaptation promises to bring one of the most intense battles of the series to life, as hinted by the film’s powerful tagline: “Ignite the final battle…” The excitement doesn’t stop at the big screen—fans of the Demon Slayer gaming franchise can look forward to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2, the sequel to the 2021 game, launching in Japan on August 1.
Crunchyroll has secured global distribution rights for the film trilogy outside of Japan and select Asian territories, ensuring that audiences worldwide can experience the epic showdown. Since its anime debut in April 2019, Demon Slayer has grown into a worldwide sensation, with multiple adaptations spanning TV, films, and games.
