When will we have new details about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba film? Its next official panel has already been scheduled

The global phenomenon of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba shows no sign of slowing down. Its recent theatrical release, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, the first installment of a planned trilogy adapting Koyoharu Gotouge’s final manga arc, has continued the franchise’s streak of setting box office records worldwide. However, with the first film still dominating theaters, the most pressing question for fans remains: when can we expect the second film? While official details are scarce, the upcoming Jump Festa 2026 convention in Japan, the world’s largest events related to the manga and anime industry, is poised to be the moment Ufotable provides the long-awaited update.

An event in which ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’ will be one of the main attractions

The Demon Slayer Corps will take the spotlight on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, near Tokyo. According to the official schedule, Kimetsu no Yaiba will host a major panel on the Jump Super Stage from 11:40 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. JST (9:40 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 20).

A major showcase on the prestigious Jump Super Stage, often reserved for the most significant announcements, strongly suggests that the Infinity Castle arc’s continuation will be the main topic. The presence of key voice actors, including Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado), Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu Agatsuma), Takahiro Sakurai (Giyu Tomioka), and Saori Hayami (Shinobu Kocho), further elevates the anticipation. This strong lineup of Hashira and core characters hints at a deep dive into the high-stakes battles that define the final struggle against Muzan Kibutsuji’s forces.

Currently, the release timeline is a major point of discussion within the fanbase. Although rumors have floated the possibility of extended two-year gaps between films (suggesting a 2027 release for the sequel), industry insiders and even statements from Crunchyroll’s CEO have emphasized the “urgency” to deliver the next film to players as soon as possible. The consistent, high-quality production schedule Ufotable has maintained for the series, releasing a major entry almost every year since 2022, gives fans a reasonable expectation that the next chapter could arrive sooner than some of the more pessimistic rumors suggest.
