The highly anticipated Swordsmith Village arc will be released after the Mugen Train Arc, which is considered to be season two, and the Entertainment District Arc, which is considered to be season three of Demon Slayer. The most well-known anime of the season’s second and third seasons were just released by Studio ufotable in the winter of 2022, and now fans are speculating as to when the fourth season will actually be released.
With three seasons and a movie to date, Demon Slayer has been the highest-grossing franchise in recent years. On April 6, 2019, the first two courses of the 26-episode anime season made their debut. The anime film “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” attained the highest global earnings. As a result of its success, season 2 used the same plot with a few minor changes over the course of its seven episodes. Season 3 that followed had a total of 11 episodes, with the final one airing on February 13, 2022, lasting 44 minutes.
Demon Slayer Season 4 Release Date
Although the fourth season of Demon Slayer has been announced and is currently in production, a release date has not been specified. At the conclusion of the Entertainment arc’s final episode, the official website unveiled a teaser image and an announcement video. The Swordsmith Village arc should have 25 episodes split into two courses. The previous seasons had a one-year gap between them. Following the same pattern, it is expected to be released in January 2022.
