Z of the Recapture Movie Gets New Title and Release Format

Code Geass is an alternate-history mecha anime that continues to be one of the most iconic shows of the 2000s. Despite the series ending with the second season, the franchise continued to get new projects.

Among these is the Code Geass films which began with a three-part compilation movie. This three-parter follows the story of the anime series but introduces new details, enough that it exists in an alternate timeline.

This was followed up by Lelouch of the Re;surrection, which was released in 2019. Soon after, the Z of the Recapture film was revealed.

Not a lot of details have been shared about the movie in the following years. Finally, though, it was confirmed just recently via its website that the movie has a new title, Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture.

Moreover, it was announced that the movie will be split into four parts. The first of which got a release date reveal along with a main cast announcement.
