08/25/2005: "Advent Children's North American Release Officially Delayed"

As expected, Advent Children will not be coming out in the U.S. and Canada on September 14th after all (the Japanese DVD/UMD release is still scheduled for September 13th). According to various sources, this month's issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly contains the information from Sony Pictures that AC will be released in N. America-- on both DVD and UMD-- for the "holiday season", which likely means mid to late November. The DVD release will include a bonus disk with extras such as trailers and behind-the-scenes material-- but not the traditionally-animated OAV Last Order. Of course, once we get a more concrete release date we'll be sure to post it; we'll also keep an eye out for official European and Australian release dates. Thanks to Ludo on the Forums for the tip!

In other AC news, a new Japanese commercial for the film has come about. According to Sephiroth OWA, who posted this info on the Forums, this commercial contains a lot of SPOILERS. The curious may download it here.
