Development
Walpurgisnacht Rising was first announced during the Anniversary Stage as part of the Madoka 10th Anniversary' event.

After the announcement, Gen Urobuchi revealed that the script for the movie was finished since sometimes between 2014 and 2016.[1]

Speculation
Please keep in mind that they are fanmade theories, and not official material.
- It is likely that the Concept movie became Walpurgisnacht: Rising.
- The recent trailer and its poster shows multiple Homura's in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
- Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
- The new magical girl incorporates design elements from most of the Holy Quintet. She may be related to them somehow.
Trivia
- Although Nagisa so far doesn't appear in promotional material, the website confirms she'll take part in the movie.

- ↑ @Butch_Gen's Tweet: The scenario for Walpurgisnacht Rising was done right after I finished Kamen Rider Gaim and before I started Thunderbolt Fantasy. Looking back, that was the last script when I could still write a line for cute girls. I'm glad for it to finally see the light of day! ワルプルギスの廻天、脚本は鎧武を終えた直後、東離劍遊紀にとりかかる直前に脱稿してたので、思えばまだ私が自力で可愛い女の子の台詞を書けていた頃の最後の本になります。ついに日の目を見る時が来て嬉しいです！
