Demon Slayer Studio Confirms The Fate Of Infinity Castle Part 2 In A Disappointing Update

by

In 2925, Demon Slayer’s newest film, Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return, was the biggest hit in both Japan and internationally. The film was a huge success with fans, who were impressed by its quality. Infinity Castle is planned as a three-part series, and now that the first part has been released, fans are very eager for news about Part 2, with some hoping it will come out in 2026. However, a recent announcement from Studio Ufotable has changed those expectations. It now seems the next installment won’t be available until at least 2027, leaving fans disappointed with the longer wait.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Is Not Getting A 2026 Release

The first part of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle came out in Japan in July 2025. It quickly gained popularity and began showing in other countries a month later, starting with Asia and then expanding to places like North America in September 2025. As the beginning of a three-part story, Infinity Castle Part 1 has created a lot of excitement for what comes next.

  • Anime fans have been anticipating the release of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 for a while now. There was hope it would arrive a year after the first movie, as releasing them annually would have been a good way for Ufotable to maintain excitement for the series. However, Ufotable recently indicated that the movie won’t be coming out anytime soon, and definitely not in 2026.

Ufotable Event Confirms Infinity Castle Part 2 Will Not Be Coming In 2026

Witch of the Holy Knight Will Be Released Instead

I was really surprised when Ufotable announced a special event out of the blue this weekend! Naturally, Demon Slayer fans immediately started speculating about what they might reveal. With the second part of the Infinity Castle arc coming up, everyone hoped for some big news from the studio. The event turned out to be quite exciting, and they did announce some cool projects, like a new teaser for the Genshin Impact anime. Unfortunately, Demon Slayer fans were a little let down. While they did mention the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2, the update was simply that it’s still in production. That pretty much rules out a 2026 release – if it was on track for that, we’d have heard more than just confirmation that it’s still being made, and we’d likely be seeing promotional material by now.

Ufotable has given fans a hint about when to expect the second part of the Infinity Castle arc. They announced a new movie, Witch of the Holy Knight, which is scheduled to be released in 2026. While a specific date hasn’t been announced yet, the movie’s 2026 release gives an indirect timeframe for when the second part of Infinity Castle might arrive.

With the announcement of a new Demon Slayer movie slated for 2026, it’s now clear that a second part of the Infinity Castle arc won’t be made. Ufotable doesn’t typically release two large-scale movies in a single year, and they already have other projects underway. If both ‘Infinity Castle Part 2’ and ‘Witch of the Holy Knight’ were planned, Ufotable would have announced that at their recent event.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Could Be Released In 2027

Exact Release Date To Be Determined

There’s no official release date for Infinity Castle Part 2 yet. While there’s been a lot of guessing, we know for sure it won’t be released in 2026. 2027 seems like a good possibility, especially since the Demon Slayer anime will have finished its re-run by then. However, fans will need to be patient, as the studio needs time to create a high-quality movie.
