Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 could be released in 2027.
The exact release date is unknown
Currently, the release date for Infinity Castle Part 2 has not been officially confirmed. Amid much speculation, the only thing that can be said with absolute certainty is that it won't drop in 2026. 2027 would be the perfect time for this film to be officially released.

Either way, the wait is still long and fans will need to be patient and let the studio properly work on this new entry to put out the best product possible.
