The first of the three movies that would comprise Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle officially received a release date. The first film is set to premiere in Japan on July 18, though an international release date has yet to be confirmed.
Aniplex announced the date during a livestream event, along with a few other interesting news. The Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train will be re-released in a 4K remaster. The screening will start on May 9 in Japan. Furthermore, previous arcs from the anime will also receive special screenings after being given the “Kimetsu Theater” treatment.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle movie trilogy
The Infinity Castle Arc serves as the grand finale to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, bringing the long-running battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji to an epic conclusion. But unlike the seasonal adaptation of previous arcs, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will be told through a trilogy of films.
Crunchyroll revealed last December that the first of the three films will premiere sometime this year. Additionally, it also confirmed the acquisition of the trilogy for a global theatrical release. Unfortunately, select Asian territories and Japan are not part of the acquisition.
