New ‘Magical Girl Madoka’ Movie Gets 2026 Release Date
by Tito W. James
Magical Girl Madoka is a seminal anime from 2011. What starts as a cute adventure centering on girls with magic powers hunting witches evolved into a gripping psychological thriller with elements of cosmic horror. The dark deconstructionist magical girl series has become a staple of anime culture and is a personal favorite of game developer Ikumi Nakamura.
The anime’s original 12 episodes were re-released as two part films then followed up by Magical Girl Madoka The Movie: Part 3 Rebellion. Now the acclaimed saga continues in Magical Girl Madoka The Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising. It’s great to see the return of Gen Urobuchi (Fate Zero) penning the script and, hopefully, giving these iconic characters the send off they deserve.
Fans old and new can look out for Magical Girl Madoka The Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising in 2026.
