Headgear and Bandai Namco have revealed that they will launch Mobile Police Patlabor EZY in theaters across Japan. The new anime project will appear as a series of theatrical films that will be shown throughout 2026 and 2027.
The companies have also published a new trailer that showcases the upcoming movies. While it started with a throwback to the original Patlabor show from the late 1980s, the trailer eventually showed the brand-new movie footage. It also revealed that Sumire Uesaka and Kikunosuke Toya will voice the main characters, Towa and Kippei, respectively.
The new trailer is also available to watch via the Japanese official Patlabor social media account:
The Patlabor EZY project was unveiled as early as 2017. In September 2024, the official Patlabor social media account teased that the new anime would launch in 2026. It has kept that promise with this new reveal.
The Bandai Namco group will not only work on the new movies. Bandai Spirits has also published a teaser for a new Real Grade model kit featuring a unit from the new title, with the Japanese #PatlaborEZY hashtag included in the tweet.
File 1 of Mobile Police Patlabor EZY will appear in Japanese theaters on May 15, 2026. The second chapter will follow on August 14, 2026, with the third and last entry slated for March 2027.
