Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movie Hit With Major Delay

As a gamer with over two decades of anime fandom under my belt, I can confidently say that the delay of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising” has left me both elated and dismayed. Elated, because this series holds a special place in my heart, and any new addition to its lore is cause for celebration. Dismayed, because I must now wait another year or so for the release.


The release of Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht – Rising has been postponed significantly, now slated for some point in 2025. This beloved magical girl series from a specific era, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, has only grown more popular since concluding its TV broadcast in 2011. After the original anime concluded, it was followed by a complete trilogy of movie releases and even a recent spinoff anime series. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting its return with a new feature film.

Titled “Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht – Ascension,” this upcoming movie follows the storyline beyond the initial trilogy and was initially planned to premiere in Japan this year. However, as per recent updates from Aniplex, the production issues have caused a delay until late 2025. Consequently, no international release details for the new film have been disclosed yet, as of this article’s publishing date. For more information on the delay, you can check out the announcement below.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m always on the lookout for fresh gaming experiences that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Here’s my take on an intriguing game concept:
