The movie will be released in cinemas by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment, dates to be confirmed.

The synopsis follows:

After concluding the opening ceremony of the Demon Kingdom Federation Tempest, Rimuru and his companions are invited by the Celestial Emperor Hermesia of the great elven nation – the Magi Dynasty Salion – to visit her private resort island. As the group enjoys their brief vacation, a mysterious woman named Yura appears. A new incident unfolds against the backdrop of the boundless azure sea.

Lucky attendees got the chance to watch the world premiere of the new trailer for Daemons of the Shadow Realm, the upcoming anime from the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, Hiromu Arakawa. The series will debut on Crunchyroll in April of 2026.
