A brand new key visual has been revealed for the upcoming movie.
It was announced a while back that the 45th 2D anime movie in the Doraemon franchise, titled Nobita and the New Castle of the Undersea Devil (Eiga Doraemon Shin Nobita no Kaiteiki Ganjō) will premiere on 27 February, 2026. The film is a revisit of the fourth film in the franchise, titled Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil, which came out in 1983.

The upcoming 45th 2D film (not counting the 3D CG movies in the Stand By Me Doraemon franchise), remakes the older classic Doraemon film Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil. At which capacity the new movie will resemble the old one is still unknown, but it gives the die-hard Doraemon fans a chance to revisit the classic from 1983.
