The date was announced during a Bandori TV live stream on Thursday, which also debuted a new trailer and key visual for the project. The film is set six months after the comeback of the band Ave Mujica, with the story taking place in spring as the group's popularity grows and each member's activities gain momentum. Sakiko Togawa, the band's leader, proposes a members-only masquerade as their next stage, and the narrative follows her ambition to become a god. The film is a sequel to the BanG Dream! Ave Mujica television anime, which premiered in Japan in January 2025 and was animated by Sanzigen under director Kodai Kakimoto. The voice cast includes Kanon Takao as Sakiko Togawa, Yuzuki Watase as Mutsumi Wakaba, Rico Sasaki as Uika Misumi, Akane Yonezawa as Nyamu Yutenji, and Mei Okada as Umiri Yahata.
