Crunchyroll has responded in the wake of allegations that over 100 GB of data has been extracted from its ticketing system, including personal data and credit card info.
In a statement to GamesRadar+, a Crunchyroll spokesperson said, "Our investigation is ongoing, and we continue to work with leading cybersecurity experts. At this time, we believe that the information is primarily limited to customer service ticket data following an incident with a third-party vendor. We have not identified evidence of ongoing access to systems in relation to these claims. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely."

While we wait for more news, in wider industry happenings, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has been slated for a spring 2026 release on Crunchyroll, though there's no word from the anime streamer yet on whether Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is making its way onto the platform just yet.
On the prospect of a Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle sequel, Crunchyroll CEO previously told The Hollywood Reporter that there's "urgency" in getting the follow-up in cinemas, but stopped short of giving a date for the Ufotable adaptation.
"Well, we've announced that it will be a trilogy of movies, but our partners at Aniplex and Ufotable haven't decided on dates yet," Parini said last September. "But look, there's definitely urgency for all of us to bring more Demon Slayer to fans as soon as we can – because we know the urgency is there among the fanbase."
