More Postponed Titles from Bandai

Humberto Saabedra

Following up the shuffle of release dates and cancelations in April, Bandai has postponed even more titles, with Kurokami Part 1 and the Freedom Complete Collection now moved to TBA status from their original release dates of June 7th and July 18th respectively, going as far as canceling retailer pre-orders until the titles are re-solicited at some point in the future.

The other titles in Code Geass R2 and Hayate the Combat Butler are expected to be released as scheduled.

This follows a string of cancellations and postponements for the beleaguered distributor on the retail side while ironically experiencing success with having its major licenses in Gundam and Code Geass available for streaming on Crunchyroll and YouTube.
