The latest issue of Famitsu announced that the Japanese release date for Baten Kaitos II has changed from a solid December date to a mysterious To Be Announced status. The indefinite delay was given no explanation, and comes just one week after Famitsu had published the December date along with some new information on the game.

Clouding the issue further, Monolith Soft's Baten Kaitos II official site still lists a December 2005 release in Japan, though it is possible the site has not been updated to reflect a change in the game's status. No other information about the upcoming GameCube title was released, but RPGamer will continue to follow the story and announce any further developments.
