Nice information, Demon Slayer followers, as that first movie within the trio of Infinity Citadel motion pictures has a brand new trailer and a obscure launch window.
Earlier this yr it was introduced that to cap issues off, Demon Slayer can be getting a trilogy of films overlaying the sequence’ closing arc, the Infinity Citadel arc. It was no shock contemplating simply how profitable Mugen Prepare was, and on high of that it is not a very lengthy arc anyway. Issues have been a bit quiet since then although, however yesterday Crunchyroll shared a brand new trailer for the upcoming trilogy, and even shared that the primary movie has a launch window: 2025. Sure, that’s clearly fairly obscure, because it might be any of the yr’s 12 months, however hey ho, it is higher than not having a launch date in any respect!

With the announcement of a launch window additionally comes the information that each one three movies will not be launched on the identical time, which is each good for our wallets, and I think about these executives who’re producing the movie too. It does additionally imply that the quick arc can be stretched out even longer, however whether or not that is into 2026, or if they’re going to all launch inside 2025, remains to be up within the air, as Crunchyroll did not have the rest to share about potential launch dates.
To date the one movie within the sequence that really covers new occasions versus being only a compilation of explicit seasons is Mugen Prepare, which was launched again in October of 2020. Regardless of that yr being the one the place we had been all caught indoors (keep in mind COVID?), it went on to gross over $500 million worldwide, making it the best grossing Japanese movie of all time, beating out 2016’s Your Title. Can Infinity Citadel beat out Mugen Prepare? Who is aware of! However I am positive it will print cash any which means.
