In August ~~2026~~ 2026, the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise announced its first ~~IMAX‑screened~~ IMAX-screened film, Walpurgis no Kaiten, slated for a worldwide IMAX release on 28 August. The movie continues the story after Rebellion, depicting a reality reshaped by Homura Akemi and new magical girls confronting a transformed Walpurgis Night. Production credits list the core Magica Quartet creators, with director Miyamoto Yukihiro, script by Gen Urobuchi and music by Yuki Kajiura. To celebrate the release of Walpurgis no Kaiten, Aniplex announced several visitor benefits, including a ‘Magica Quartet Special Shikishi’ featuring signatures from the creative team and weekly rotating mini-shikishi-style cards illustrated by Ume Aoki. Launch events include midnight screenings at select theaters and a live viewing of the opening ceremony at Shinjuku Wald 9, to be broadcast to cinemas nationwide on 29 August. A month later, the franchise revealed a separate theatrical entry, Walpurgisnacht Rising, set to open in Mexico and other ~~Latin‑American~~ Latin-American markets on 1 October 2026, followed by a Japanese premiere on 28 October. Distributed locally by Konnichiwa! in partnership with Aniplex of America, the film reunites the original Japanese voice cast and adds new talent, highlighting the series’ growing popularity across Latin America. Together, the announcements illustrate a coordinated 2026 rollout that expands Madoka Magica’s presence both in premium formats such as IMAX and in new regional markets, underscoring the franchise’s continued global expansion.
