Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s Streaming Release Date Gets Disappointing Update

by

Fans are disappointed to learn that *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* won’t be available to stream online this year. Crunchyroll has announced the hit anime film will remain exclusively in theaters through 2025, meaning there’s no option to watch it online until then.

Why Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie won’t begin streaming in 2025

Don’t expect to stream *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie – Infinity Castle* in 2025. Crunchyroll has announced that the popular anime film won’t be available on any streaming service, including its own, until at least 2026. They’ve decided to keep it playing in theaters exclusively for the entire year of 2025.

Okay, so *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc* is officially a massive hit – it’s broken records at the box office and it’s clearly reaching a much wider audience than just anime fans. I recently heard from Mitchel Berger at Crunchyroll, and he was pretty direct about the release strategy. Basically, if you want to see this movie in 2025, you *have* to see it in theaters. That’s the only place it’s going to be shown, at least for now. It’s clear Crunchyroll is really prioritizing a strong theatrical run before they make it available digitally. They’re betting big on the cinema experience, and it seems like they want everyone to be part of that first.

Unlike many blockbuster movies, like superhero films, which quickly become available on streaming services, “Infinity Castle” will remain in theaters for a longer period. This extended theatrical release is helping the film maintain strong ticket sales and demonstrates that audiences really want to see it on the big screen. Fans will have to wait to watch it at home until it officially premieres on streaming platforms.

According to Popverse, the way Crunchyroll is releasing *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* in theaters shows how important movie ticket sales are to them. The film is a massive anime hit, breaking records in countries around the world. Unfortunately, if you can’t see it in theaters in 2025, you’ll have to wait until 2026 for the home video release – which is a surprisingly long delay for a popular anime movie like this.
