Monday's Kantai Collection event KanColle Haru no Kan Matsuri announced that the upcoming KanColle Movie will open in theaters in Japan in the fall quarter of 2016. A teaser visual of the movie was revealed on Thursday on the anime's official website.

Kantai Collection is a web browser game developed by Kadokawa which allows players to build naval fleets composed of battleships that are represented as "fleet girls." The characters themselves are based on real world ships from Japan's World War II era. A TV anime adaptation aired in Winter 2015.

A new promotional video for the movie was also unveiled at Monday's event. Attendees report that new ship appearances include the heavy cruisers Aoba and Kinugasa, the light cruiser Tenryuu, and aviation cruisers Suzuya and Kumano. Yui Horie will also have a voice role in the movie.

Ticket pre-orders for KanColle Movie will be accepted from April 23, with each ticket costing 1,500 yen. Customers who make their reservations will receive a commemorative postcard set. The movie is currently scheduled to open in 38 theaters in 23 prefectures.
