Early this morning (at least here on the Pacific coast of Canada), the date for the Japanese release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle was revealed as Friday, July 18th, 2025.
A theatrical poster was shared on social media with protagonists Tanjiro Kamado and Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka prominently featured below the Demon Slayers, Hashira and Muzan’s Upper Moons.
While Japan gets the movie this summer, worldwide fans will need to wait a little longer as a global showing is coming. A second video, this time in English, only confirms an ambiguous date of 2025, meaning fall or winter release is the most likeliest.
Here’s the Japanese video:

The international release is being coordinated by Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll, according to a previous press release.
