Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle might be getting ready for its long awaited home video launch, but the film is still winning big with some very notable awards. After having a record breaking run in theaters across Japan, the first film in the Infinity Castle trilogy finally left theaters after nine strong months. The film is now gearing up for its first Blu-ray and DVD release across shelves in Japan later this Summer, and has yet to loosen its grip on the public as fans continue to celebrate just how big of a movie it’s become.

This weekend saw the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards ceremony celebrate some of the biggest anime releases of the last year, and awarded big prizes to the anime releases that fans have voted as the highlight for the year overall. That naturally includes Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, which ended up taking home seven awards overall including Film of the Year. It just keeps on dominating even after all this time even after it prepares for a home release.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle has announced that it will be getting its first Blu-ray and DVD release in Japan on July 29th. International release dates for its home video launch have yet to be revealed as of the time of this writing, but it’s a good sign for things to come. Because with a home video date set in Japan, it will be opening up the film to a streaming launch soon after. We’ll most likely get it streaming on various platforms and available for digital purchase in the coming months.
When Does Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Come Out?
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle doing as well as it did in theaters was a bit of a double edged sword, however. Because with all of the attention paid to the first film and keeping in the promotional circuit, it meant that there was really no need to rush out any potential updates on the next film in the trilogy. There are still lots of elements to cover from the Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotoge’s original manga releases, but it’s likely going to be a while before we actually get to see it in action.
It’s not going to be until at least 2027 at the earliest. There’s a potential chance that we’ll get to see the first teaser or promo images from the next film this year, but Ufotable themselves have confirmed that we won’t be seeing Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Part 2 in 2026. Currently teased as a “Future Project” for the studio with no proper release window in sight, fans might have to wait much longer than we could hope for.
