Reports Flag 2027 and 2029 for Remaining Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Films as Crunchyroll Says Dates Undecided

Crunchyroll maintains no release years are set despite reports pointing to 2027 and 2029.

Overview

  • The Guardian’s piece on the franchise’s 2025 success referenced the next two films as expected in 2027 and 2029, sparking fresh discussion of the timeline.
  • FandomWire’s fact-check notes the interview supplied no explicit years and the article offered no direct quotes confirming dates, so the windows remain unverified.
  • Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini has affirmed the trilogy plan but said partners Aniplex and Ufotable have not chosen dates, even as he signaled urgency to continue the series.
  • Analysts project late-2027 and late-2029 premieres by extrapolating past release patterns and Ufotable’s production pacing, framing these as informed expectations rather than announcements.
  • The first Infinity Castle film delivered standout box-office results, and Crunchyroll theatrical head Mitchel Berger cited sustained post-pandemic growth in anime fandom as a tailwind.
