The trailer is quite short at around thirty seconds. It starts with Homura and Madoka dancing, before we get some shots of characters both new and old. There seems to be something wrong with the dancing Homura though, as her eyes are a different color than usual. There’s a quick shot of Sayaka with bandages all over her face, as well as someone cutting their arm with a knife, only for their blood to congeal into a dark blob. Though these scenes will surely make more sense in context, they’re rather confusing at the moment.

We can see two new characters who’ll be debuting in this movie. One girl has green hair and glasses, and she appears to be drinking tea with someone in a pond full of lotuses. The other girl has blonde hair in curly pigtails. We see her having fun with Nagisa in a ball pit, but there’s also a scene in which Kyubey is hanging out on her shoulder.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising will come out in Japan in Winter 2025. This movie will be a direct sequel to Rebellion, as it takes place in the new world Homura creates.
