Madoka Magica: New Film 'Walpurgis no Kaiten' Set for August 2026 IMAX Release

The anime franchise "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" will debut its first IMAX-screened film, "Walpurgis no Kaiten," on August 28, 2026. Aniplex and the Madoka Project released an IMAX‑specific poster and visual, confirming simultaneous IMAX distribution across participating theaters. The movie continues the story after the events of "Rebellion," depicting a world reshaped by Homura Akemi, who has become a devil‑like figure and altered reality. New magical girls appear as the plot follows their struggle against the transformed witch‑like entity Walpurgis Night.

Production details list Magica Quartet as the original creators, with director Miyamoto Yukihiro, script by Urobuchi Gen, and music by Kajiura Yuki. The film is part of a broader slate of upcoming anime releases slated for 2026, but it stands out as the series' inaugural IMAX presentation.
