Infinity Castle Part 2 is not included in the 2026 release schedule
After Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 was released in July 2025 in Japan and September 2025 in North America, fans expected positive news regarding the sequel to the beloved anime. However, a recent production reel from Ufotable confirmed that Infinity Castle Part 2 will not arrive in 2026.
The reel in question unveiled the studio’s 2026 plans, in which Demon Slayer was absent. Instead, they plan to release Witch on the Holy Night in 2026, along with a special project celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Tales video game series. Despite the disappointing news for fans, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 2 was listed under future projects, which suggests a possible release in 2027. Watch the reel here:
The film is expected to remain in theaters before streaming
Ufotable also announced that Infinity Castle Part 1 will return to theaters in March 2026 in North America and the United Kingdom. Some screenings will use the SCREENX format, which offers a 270-degree panoramic experience. This extended theatrical run suggests that the movie will not be available on streaming platforms anytime soon. Other anime films, such as Chainsaw Man Reze Arc, are already planning streaming releases for Spring 2026. In comparison, the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle film does not have an official streaming date or premiere.
The Ininifty Castle Arc marks the end of Demon Slayer
The Infinity Castle Arc is being adapted into a trilogy film, with Part 1 premiering in 2025. It’s the longest arc in the series, and a majority of the intense moments will be adapted in the upcoming parts. Part 2 will focus on other characters, including Kanao Tsuyuri and the rest of the Hashira, who are also trapped inside the Infinity Castle. The anime is expected to conclude with Part 3, which is rumored to premiere in 2029.
