Get ready to enter the cycle! Warner Bros. Japan officially announced the final details for the highly anticipated anime film adaptation of the celebrated sci-fi novel, All You Need Is Kill.

This isn't just a reboot of the story that inspired the Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow; this is a complete cinematic reimagining from the perspective of the original novel's hero, Rita Vrataski.

THE TIME LOOP IS LOCKED

• Premiere Date: The film will hit Japanese theaters on January 9, 2026.

• The Studio: Animated by the legendary Studio 4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Children of the Sea).
