From the latest Digital Bits', Classic Coming Attractions by Barrie Maxwell:

No date though. Hopefully this year.
I also wonder if they'll add anything to Seven Samurai? Or if they found a version of the film that was in even better condition than their restoration that's already out on DVD?

Criterion is also understood to have commissioned re-subtitling of six other Kurosawa films that it will eventually bring to DVD. The films are: Seven Samurai (1954), Ikiru (1952), Stray Dog (1949), The Bad Sleep Well (1960), Drunken Angel (1948), and I Live in Fear (1955). This would mean a revisiting of the company's previous Seven Samurai release. It also appears likely that we will see Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water (1962) later this year.
