Ufotable has officially revealed its 2026 and beyond slate, giving anime fans a clear look at what the acclaimed studio is preparing over the next few years. Known globally for its breathtaking animation quality and cinematic storytelling, Ufotable continues to build on the massive success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba while expanding into long awaited adaptations and theatrical projects that promise to dominate the industry conversation.
One of the most anticipated projects confirmed for 2026 is the theatrical adaptation of Witch on the Holy Night. Originally a visual novel by Type Moon, the story has long been praised for its rich lore and atmospheric storytelling. Ufotable’s involvement has raised expectations significantly, especially after the studio’s previous collaborations within the Type Moon universe. Early footage showcased in the promotional reel highlights stunning lighting effects and fluid action sequences, reinforcing the studio’s reputation for visual excellence.
The studio is also keeping momentum alive for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba with a full television rebroadcast scheduled in Japan in 2026. This strategic move appears designed to build excitement ahead of the continuation of the Infinity Castle arc in theaters. The next installment in the cinematic trilogy, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle, was teased again in the slate reveal, signaling that the franchise remains central to Ufotable’s future roadmap.
Another major highlight is the ongoing development of the anime adaptation of Genshin Impact. First announced several years ago, the project resurfaced in the latest reel with brief glimpses of its protagonists, reassuring fans that production is moving forward. Given the global popularity of the original game, this adaptation could become one of the studio’s most significant releases once it arrives.
Ufotable also reconfirmed progress on the long awaited theatrical project based on Katsugeki: Touken Ranbu. The franchise, which blends historical fantasy with stylish action, already benefited from the studio’s signature visual approach in its original series. A full length film adaptation suggests a more expansive and cinematic continuation of that universe.
Beyond anime productions, Ufotable’s 2026 plans include celebratory events tied to the thirtieth anniversary of the Tales of role playing franchise, a property the studio has collaborated with in the past. Special projects and announcements related to this milestone are expected to unfold throughout the year. The company is also expanding its popular themed cafe experiences across Japan and continuing its involvement in large scale fan events such as Machi Asobi, further strengthening its connection with audiences beyond the screen.
