Donghua Movies in 2026: Names, Alternate Titles and Release Dates
Donghua movies are often the biggest event for a franchise, and they are also the hardest to search because every site translates the title differently. This guide lists the 2026 movies we saw on October 24, 2026, the release dates shown by AnimeXin, and the alternate names we found on other sites.
The 2026 movie list
| Movie | Date listed on AnimeXin | Other titles seen |
|---|---|---|
| Renegade Immortal Movie: Battle of Immortal Slayer | October 1, 2026 | Renegade Immortal Movie 2: Battle of Immortal Slayer, Renegade Immortal: Battle of Gods, Renegade Immortal Movie: Slaying the Blood Progenitor, 仙逆剧场版 弑仙之战 |
| Perfect World Movie: Nine Tribulations Burning Heaven | August 8, 2026 | Perfect World Movie: Ninefold The Burning Sky, Perfect World Full Movie: Ninefold The Burning Sky |
| Swallowed Star: Showdown on Primordial Star | May 1, 2026 | Swallowed Star: Battle in the Primordial Star (AnimeXin spells it Primodial) |
| Shrouding the Heavens: The Imperial Path | April 4, 2026 |
The older Soul Land Movie: Sword Dao Chen Xin, listed on July 12, 2025, appears on the same page for context.
One movie, four names
The Renegade Immortal movie shows why searching is hard. We found four different English titles across six sites: "Battle of Immortal Slayer", "Movie 2: Battle of Immortal Slayer", "Battle of Gods", "Slaying the Blood Progenitor" and a version with "part3" in the address. The Chinese title 仙逆剧场版 弑仙之战 is the same everywhere. When you search for a movie, include at least two of its names, or paste the Chinese characters.
The Perfect World movie has the same problem. "Nine Tribulations Burning Heaven" and "Ninefold The Burning Sky" are two translations of the same release.
What these movies are
We only list what the pages show. Each is listed as a movie or special tied to an existing series: Renegade Immortal, Perfect World, Swallowed Star and Shrouding the Heavens. If you are new to one of those, start with the series guide, then watch the movie.

How release dates can differ
The same movie can carry different dates. AnimeXin and DonghuaStream both show October 1, 2026 for the Renegade Immortal movie, but Donghua Zone's page for it sits under an August 2026 address. A date may reflect when a site published it rather than a release date. Use dates as a rough guide and check an official channel for exact schedules.
Watching tips
- Search with two titles. Try the main English name and one alternate name.
- Confirm it is the movie and not an episode of the series. Movies often appear inside the series list.
- Choose your subtitle language before you start. See donghua subtitles by language.
- Do not trust a title that promises "full movie in 4K" on a page without a clear source. Quality labels are claims, not guarantees.
Looking for movies in YumePlay
YumePlay is a free Android app, and titles in its library can change. Search for the movie by each of its alternate names. If a movie is missing today, check again later. The app is on Google Play, and our comparison with the websites is in YumePlay vs donghua websites.
