The second film, Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch - Handō (lit.: The Rebellion Path, official English subtitle: Transgression), opened in Japan on February 10. The third film Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch - Ōdō (lit.: The Imperial Path, official English subtitle: Glorification) will open in Japan on May 26.
Additional details regarding the films' North American release will be announced in the future.
Sunrise also announced that Funimation will release the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans on home video this summer. The series aired on Toonami last October.
The 25-episode first season premiered in Japan in October 2015, followed by the second season in October 2016. Daisuki, Gundam.info, and Hulu streamed the first season as it aired. Crunchyroll also streamed both seasons, followed by the anime with an English dub in February 2017.
