The movie is based on the visual novel of the same name, which TYPE-MOON released in Japan in 2012. The story takes place in the late 1980s and follows Aoko Aozaki, a high school student who is unexpectedly named heir to her family’s line of magic users. She moves into a mansion to study sorcery under Alice Kuonji, a young witch who lives there, while also trying to keep up with her duties as student council president. Her situation grows more complicated with the arrival of a new transfer student, Sojuro Shizuki, and the return of her older sister Toko Aozaki, who believes she should have been the one chosen to inherit the family’s magic.

No additional plot details, cast, or staff information were shared alongside the release date announcement. More information about the film is expected to be revealed as the November premiere approaches. Witch on the Holy Night will mark another entry in ufotable’s growing list of TYPE-MOON projects brought to the screen, giving fans of the franchise a new theatrical release to look forward to later this year.

Available July 9, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, PS4 & Steam
