Another Century’s Episode R dated for Japan

A solid Japanese release date for Namco Bandai’s upcoming Another Century’s Episode R has been announced in the latest issue of Famitsu. The crossover mech title is set to launch this summer in Japan with an August 19, 2010 release date. A bonus code allowing players to use Z Gundam 3 will come with the game.

As we’ve said in the past, it’s unlikely this will come west due to the various licenses involved with the title that can only be found in Japan. None of the PS2 A.C.E. titles reached our shores, either. Luckily, PlayStation 3 is region-free, which means importers are welcome.
