2025 was a phenomenal year for anime films. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was the biggest success, earning massive profits and becoming the highest-grossing anime movie ever. Chainsaw Man The Movie: The Reze Arc, from Studio MAPPA, also performed very well. However, 2026 currently looks less promising, and one of its major releases has recently announced some disappointing news about its launch.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgis no Kaiten is the fourth film in the popular Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. It’s been over ten years since a movie was last released, and the newest installment was originally planned to premiere this February. However, Studio Shaft has announced another delay. The movie has faced several postponements already, and fans are hoping it will finally be released in 2026.
Madoka Magika’s Studio Speaks
The production committee has announced another delay for the anime film, Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgis no Kaiten. They state the delay is due to issues with the production process. Originally planned for release in February 2026, a new release date will be announced next February. The committee apologizes for the inconvenience to fans and partners, and promises to continue working to deliver a high-quality film. They thank everyone for their understanding.
Despite its cute character designs, Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a surprisingly dark and compelling anime that’s gained a dedicated following. If you’re planning to see the fourth movie, you can now stream the original series on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
Looking for a better understanding of this anime? Here’s how Crunchyroll describes the story: Madoka Kaname is a typical eighth grader with a loving family and close friends. Her ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when she has a magical encounter – one that feels like either a lucky chance or a twist of fate. This encounter will change her life forever, marking the start of a new tale about magical girls and witches.
