When does Made in Abyss: Awakening Mystery release?
The film is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on October 23, 2026. The official Japanese title identifies it as Made in Abyss: Mezameru Shinpi (目覚める神秘), the first part of a theatrical series. “Awakening Mystery” is an English rendering of the subtitle; the official pages reviewed publish the title in Japanese.
The announced date applies to Japan. As of October 17, the official film site and theater listing do not provide an overseas cinema date or a streaming release. Viewers outside Japan should wait for a distributor or local exhibitor to confirm availability.
What is the movie about?
The official introduction follows Riko, Reg, Nanachi and Faputa as their journey continues toward the Abyss’s seventh layer. The film is presented as the first entry in a new theatrical series, rather than as a confirmed third television season. The official site has not published an international synopsis or schedule.
