Cinema Release Date for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising" Announced

The fourth film in the "Madoka Magica" series has received a concrete release date. The producers announced that the premiere is now scheduled for August 28, 2026. An earlier release was originally planned, but internal production processes made an adjustment to the schedule necessary. On the official platform, a message was addressed to the fanbase, thanking them for their understanding and asking for continued patience.

This project is the direct continuation of the events from "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion" from 2013. Work on this feature film spans a considerable period; initial hints from the studio were given several years ago.

The main roles are voiced by Aoi Yuki as Madoka Kaname, Chiwa Saito as Homura Akemi, Kaori Mizuhashi as Mami Tomoe, Eri Kitamura as Sayaka Miki, Ai Nonaka as Kyoko Sakura, Kana Asumi as Nagisa Momoe, and Emiri Katou as Kyubey.
